Workplace Shell for Windows
This is a clone of the OS/2 shell. Browsing is done through folders, either through your directories like Windows Explorer or through predefined folders with links, like Program Manager groups. WPShell changes settings without asking, so be warned. Simply running it will change your colour scheme. Not a bad program, but it could be a bit more user friendly.

Here we have an OS/2 look using the 
OS/2 Work Place Shell for Windows. Very nice Program Manager replacement. If you want
that OS/2 look and feel then WPS is a must. On the right side of
some title bars are additional buttons provided by X-it. X-it
allows for rolling up windows to get them out of the way instead
of minimizing. The SuperPad text editor is rolled up here. X-it's
other buttons provide an 'X' button to close apps and another
button to bring up a taskmanager. A new button added in version 1.1
brings up a task list of running apps so you'll always have
access to running apps when running full-screen. Just a basic
shot showing ACDSee and WPS' icon views and setup utility.
