| I see. I never really noticed that the other options disabled it for everything since I just stuck with CS. Good to know. |

| I personally really like how KDE does it desktop sorting thing, (I think KDE 4 was the original "fence".) Hell, KDE is awesome all around. I have yet to find anything remotely as good as Klipper on Windows for one thing. |

| It is indeed enough, Classic Shell is in itself, more then enough. I just figured I'd ask since there is no way within CS to only enable the top left and top edge and nothing else. I did know about the windows options for the top corners. I did not know about the registry tweak to disable charms hin... |

Yep, It's different on 7, I actually have to install updates for it to show up, it works properly. I'll try 8.0, now, (VMware is invaluable for testing things.)
Edit: It's only 8.1, probably worth waiting 'till the RTM comes out in less then a month. |
