Using "Talisman", you can build any interface for your computer.
"Talisman" hides the standard desktop of Windows.
You create and add almost any type of object to the Talisman desktop, and attach
any type of internal Talisman commands or run any application. Objects
(which can be either visible or invisible) can be programmed to react to
mouse clicks or mouse movements. You can also add background pictures
to the desktop and add sounds to different events. All settings and pictures
are stored in a theme file. You can even make more than one theme and use
objects with links to go from one theme to another.
You can use Talisman as your default shell instead the Windows Explorer.
Talisman has its own startup ,system tray, taskbar and startmenu procedures.

---------------

2. Talisman Tray doesn't display DialUp icon in some systems with Windows XP/2000
We'll correct these problems as soon as possible.
Installing the program:
============================
- If you work in shell mode of Talisman - switch your shell in standard Windows shell Explorer.exe.
- Install the newest version of Talisman (do not start setup procedure from the working Talisman. Exit from Talisman before installation).
- If you want Talisman to execute at startup, place a Talisman shortcut in your
Startup Directory (c:\windows\start menu\programs\startup).
- Read an information about Shell mode of Talisman if you plan to use the Talisman as shell.
Installing as default shell
===========================
Please read the" What to do if the system will not startup with Talisman as the shell?" before installing Talisman as your default shell!
To start Talisman as default shell:
---------------------------------------------
Run Talisman Shell Switcher (TSS) program tss.exe to switch between shells (Talisman and Explorer). Select shell and press Ok. Computer will be restarted with selected shell.
Notes for multiuser configuration of Windows2000/XP:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
To have the possibility to use different shells for different users you have to login as Administrator (or user with Administrator rights) and switch shells with Shell Switcher (tss.exe) at least once. TSS will make all necessary changes in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE key of your register. These initial changes are available only from Administrator (or user with Administrator rights) account.
After that you can use TSS to switch shells from any user account.
What to do if the system will not startup with Talisman as the shell?
==================================================
Step by step procedure to start Windows NT4/2000/XP if you uninstall Talisman in shell mode of
Talisman:
1) Start computer.
2) After logining press Ctrl-Alt-Del
3) Press "Task Manager".
4) Press "New Task".
5) Enter: "regedit.exe" and press "Ok".
6) Change the value of register key :
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Shell
from "../talisman/talisman.exe" in "explorer.exe"
7) Change the value of register key :
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Shell
from "../talisman/talisman.exe" in "explorer.exe"
8) Change the value of register key :
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\IniFileMapping\system.ini\boot\Shell
from "USR:Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon" to "SYS:Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon".
9) Change the value of register key :
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\Separate Process
from "1" to "0".
10) Close regedit.exe.
11) Press Ctrl-Alt-Del and Restart Windows.
Notes: All changes in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE must be made by user with administrator rights.
All changes in HKEY_CURRENT_USER must be made for all users who switched shells before.
After any changes in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE you must Restart computer (not only logoff!).
For Windows 95/98:
1) Restart your computer - either turn it off, then back on or hit the reset button.
With this step timing is critical. As your computer reboots, it will run through a series of checks (memory, hard drives, etc.). After the checks, it will normally display a screen showing your basic hardware configuration. When it does that, push the F8 key (Windows95 and Windows98 do things a little differently here: Win95 shows a statement Starting Windows95, but Win98 does not). Shortly after pushing the F8 key, you will be presented with a menu of startup options.
2) Select "Start at command prompt"
3) When you get a c:> prompt, key in
edit c:\windows\system.ini
(if your windows directory is named something else use that).
4) The screen will change and you will be presented with a basic text editor. Most likely, you won't be able to use your mouse, so you will have to navigate with the keyboard. Use the down arrow to get to the proper line (shell=), then change this string in
shell=explorer.exe
5) Exit the editor. The keystrokes are alt+f to open the File Menu; then x to exit; then y to save the changes.
6) Restart.
For Windows ME:
1) You need to have a bootable diskette and start computer from this diskette.
2) When you get a c:> prompt, key in
edit c:\windows\system.ini
(if your windows directory is named something else use that).
3) The screen will change and you will be presented with a basic text editor. Most likely, you won't be able to use your mouse, so you will have to navigate with the keyboard. Use the down arrow to get to the proper line (shell=), then change this string in
shell=explorer.exe
4) Exit the editor. The keystrokes are alt+f to open the File Menu; then x to exit; then y to save the changes.
5) Restart.
Uninstalling the program:
============================
If you want to uninstall Talisman, use the Control Panel's "Add/Remove Programs."
