'''SharpE''' is an open source [[Shell (computing)|shelluser interface|User Interface]] replacement for [[Microsoft Windows]] 2000 and higher, released under the [[GNU Lesser General Public License]] (LGPL). SharpE was originally developed by members of [http://www.lowdimension.net/ Low Dimension International], many of whom are no longer involved in LDI but are still involved in the project. SharpE split from LDI in summer 2005 and is under continued (but slow) development. The latest build available is from August 2006.

== Technology ==
SharpE is currently designed to compile on Borland Delphi 2005, and targets Windows 2000 or higher. It makes heavy use of the [http://homepages.borland.com/jedi/jcl/ JCL], [http://homepages.borland.com/jedi/jvcl/ JVCL], and [http://graphics32.org/wiki/pub/page/Main/Graphics32 Graphics32] libraries for Delphi.

SharpE is near the end of a major rewrite, which greatly simplifies and cleans up both the source code and the end user experience. The end result is a much better, but somewhat experimental shell. As part of this rewrite, all configuration is now stored for each user in editable XML files as opposed to the registry or "resource files".

SharpE also allows you to continue to use programs that were once used  by native [[Windows Explorer|Windows Explorer]]. This means you are able to view "My Computer" and other Windows shortcuts. This parsing of the data helps stop Explorer from opening when windows starts up.⏎
