There are not too many icons to confuse users and the time taken to log in and shut down is quick,” he explained.

He says: "I was thinking of creating a smaller programme that can work like an OS while studying certain innate limitations of the existing operating systems". Also, the software developed by Chandrashekar, has a folder locking feature which not only protects the folder but also hides it from view. The student, who released similar software that works with XP some months ago, has plans to put the software online to let everyone use it.
