Uploaded by the author, The Silver Wolf Desktop brings the true, proven, folder/document metaphor to Windows 3.1, today. Full support for: Long (file) Names, Aliases, Drag/Drop, Trash, Icon & Text file/directory views, File Find, History Lists, Program Manager groups as read-only lists, File Manager drops, PKZIP v2.04g files open as read-only windows, Network support and more. Disk directories become "folders" with files and other folders (subdirectories) inside. These folders are displayed in windows on the desktop and can be opened, moved, copied, aliased, and deleted. Every item -- file, directory, or list -- on the Desktop can be displayed with it's icon to give you a quick visual cue what application is needed to view and change the item as appropriate.
Drag files to the desktop's wallpaper (Windows' background) to run the application or launch the file's associated application. Drop files onto the trashcan to allow "delayed" delete (you need to empty the trashcan to really remove the files from your disk). Drop files onto the Print, View, and Edit icons to launch related applications. These "Command Icons" look for commands of the same name in Windows' registration database (where file associations, etc are stored) for each file. So, for example, if you drag a .SAM file onto the Print icon AmiPro's "print" command will be launched to print the file in it's native format without needing to bring up AmiPro! If no "command" exists, a default print application will attempt to make sense of your file. Plus, you can add your own Command Icons!
Notes: Decompress the archive. Run SWD.EXE to launch. See documentation of complete instructions.
