Desktop Tooling
OS-level desktop utilities — Explorer, shell extensions, theming, launchers, windowing.
Graphical tools that sit on the desktop. Not shells, not HCI research, not developer-machine catalogs.

Siblings: HCI Nerdz (interaction design), OpenShellOrg (shells and CLIs), Dev-Centr (developer machines). Cross-link; do not absorb.
