*DWM is present in this build and can be initialized by running <code>\WINDOWS\I386\sbctl.exe start</code>. Running <code>\WINDOWS\I386\sbctl.exe stop</code> will stop DWM. It is worthy noticing that DWM tends to be unstable and hang after some time, resulting in a crash of the Theme and Desktop Manager service, which can be restarted by running <code>net start winux</code>. | *DWM is present in this build and can be initialized by running <code>\WINDOWS\I386\sbctl.exe start</code>.

*A "Sticky Notes" application can be found in the <code>\WINDOWS\WinSxS</code> folder. Dragging an empty text file onto <code>StickyNote.exe</code> will launch the application. Sticky notes support either typing or handwriting, resizing and colorization. The "Options" menu option appears to be grayed out, and the audio controls don't seem to work. If you create more than one sticky note, you will notice that there will be a single taskbar button for all of them. | *A "Sticky Notes" application can be found in the <code>\WINDOWS\WinSxS</code> folder.
