GeoShell (also: Geoshell, geOShell, etc.) is a replacement shell for Microsoft Windows intended to replace the default Explorer interface. It features geoBars that can be drag-and-dropped anywhere. GeoShell could be interacted also by desktop menus that can be triggered whenever a user clicks anywhere on the desktop, and global keyboard shortcuts. It also has plugins that other developers make to add functionality, and skins to change the appearance. Most settings are configured by directly editing the Windows registry, although more recent versions of GeoShell have a configuration utility, GeoConfig, which can aid users in configuring GeoShell without manually editing registry entries.
