kidsmenu:a child friendly alternative/replacement windows shell

some time ago when my children started to us the computer, i hunted around for a replacement shell for windows that could function as a simple launcher.

i failed to find a single one. so, as any geek would, i wrote one.

kidsmenu is designed to be a child friendly alternative/replacement windows shell, and is also functional as a normal launcher/menu application.

kidsmenu avoids some of the complexity and danger introduced by the standard windows shell (explorer) when put in front of young children. for example, as there’s no start menu, hitting the windows key accidently while playing a game won’t show the start menu. (note this functionality currently requires kidsmenu to be running as the replacement shell).
