Talisman Desktop" (Talisman) is a desktop alternative and shell-replacement for Windows 9x/ME and NT/2000/XP, capable of transforming your desktop into an interface organized as you like. The program's basic purpose: Launch other applications in a new interface, instead of the standard Windows desktop. But the opportunities presented by "Talisman" are much broader. The program does not limit your computer fantasies - draw anything you like and arrange it as your imagination tells you to. When you get tired of looking at the same screen - change it all over again. If you are in a good mood - throw flowers and favorite photos on the screen. If you're not feeling so bright - leave the black screen with lonely Norton Commander or winking Bill Gates. Create invisible buttons - they will open those places and the pictures, known only to you. Construct galleries of the best pictures and photos. Simply create your own little world, created by and for you, instead of staring at the same lines of icons on your desktop, year after year.

With the help of "Talisman" you can create your own interface or use one of the hundreds ready themes that are available in our collections and in the internet. Interface (theme) is a set of screens, forms, "rooms" and objects. All these objects are interactive and respond to movements or clicks of the mouse.

Talisman Desktop also allows to create:

- Presentation interfaces for Exhibitions, Shows, Advertisement, etc.

- Protected interfaces for Game Clubs, Information Kiosks, Museums, Libraries and other organizations.

- Protected interfaces for Hotels, Schools, Universities and other organizations where the limited set of accessible programs is necessary.

- Children's interfaces.

- HTPC (Home Theater PC), Media Center interfaces.

- Car PC interfaces (built-in car computers).

- Desktop Panels. Desktop Panels covers only a part of desktop. They allow to add Talisman functionality to your standard Windows workspace. Examples

- Tablet PC, touch-screen interfaces.

- Interfaces for companies.

- Other non-standard and protected interfaces for Windows-based computers.

Generally speaking, Zip or Rar files that we download from Internet need to be decompressed before we can actually use them. This decompression process goes like this: First, you need double-click this archive, then an associated decompresses will open its file list in a window. Now, if you double-click one of the files on the list, it seems that the file is opened automatically, in the fact, all the files on the list have been decompressed to a temp folder in advance before it's opened. This whole decompression process usually takes a lot of time, especially for an age that archives go larger and larger.

For instance, decompressing an archive larger than 1G often takes you 10 minutes or more depending on your computer's capability, but now if you have got WinMount at hand, you don't need to tolerate the boring moment spent on decompressing. Just right-click on the archive, select "Mount to a new drive " menu item, a few seconds later, the operating system will notify you that a new device has been found and a new drive is created and ready to work. If you open it, you can see that all the files inside the archive are ready for your use.

Some users reported that WinMount takes up too much memory, our answer to it is, this issue is not about winmount itself but your improper understanding. When a ZIP or RAR file is mounted on a virtual drive, WinMount just consumes a little bit memory, but it does consume a little bit more in the case that there is a very large file in the archive because WinMount needs some more memory to create INDEX and CACHE to promote performance. As to mounting ISO or BIN, WinMount consumes far less memory.
