We mentioned RE's launcher and Unlocker last week. The controversial programs are designed to resemble Apple's iPhone interface.

Then click the program to start Launcher or the Slide/Unlocker program. If you want RE's Launcher to pop up every time you do a soft reset, just create a shortcut and copy it to the Windows/Startup folder.
