OK tested a few shells.
Litestep uses less resources maybe not as configurable as others but nice.

Try http://www.sharpe-shell.org/news.php - it has a download link on it. You'll also see that it's been a long time since the last release, though, so it might be worth holding off until the next one comes along, since they've been making a lot of changes.

Does this use more or less ram?

intrigued, i went to find out about sharpe. it's new to me.
i just installed in 2003 in a virtual machine.

i have screenshots here. the long and short of it? ram usage went UP by 38 mb when using sharpe.
no doubt you will find the same result in 2000.
<said politely> you guys are looking for a holy grail here. if you want a fast win2k, shut off explorer, run ExploreXP to navigate, and run your programs without overhead.
