DExposE2 Final
DExposE2 is a clone of Mac OS X's Expose feature for Windows XP and Vista. Aside from the basic Expose features, which we've seen from a lot of clones in the past, DExpose2 features a handful of extra features like interactive previews, hot corners, multi-monitor support, and more. If you like the look and feel of Expose but have never found a good substitute for your Windows PC, the freeware DExposE2 may be the best available. DExposE2 comes in portable and zipped versions.

StandaloneStack 2
Mac OS X Leopard introduced cool towers of icons to the interface, with shortcuts to frequently accessed folders, called stacks. Now you can put stacks in Windows as well. There's even an add-on to put stacks on the RocketDock launcher.
If you have ObjectDock or RocketDock, you certainly know the stack docklet from Matonga.Now, if you don’t want any dock and simply use your taskbar, you can have stack view too.
Just get StandaloneStack 2, create a shortcut and voilà, run it to show the stack.
StandaloneStack use the Matonga stack library, so you can thank him for making it…
So, once you have downloaded StandaloneStack 2, unzip the files in a real directory (for example c:\standalonestack2).
Just run standalonestack2.exe to create and customize your stack !
When you have created your stack, you can open option with it, just hold CTRL key when you run it.
To navigate thru folder in stack, hold CTRL when you click on it (for now, you can’t go back).
