Eliminating the Start bar

I am looking for some help and figure this might be a good place to find it.

I am running Windows XP Pro on one of my computers, and I am looking for software that will completely eliminate the Start/Task bar and give me a menu when I pull up my context menu (right click) to select the programs I have that would normally be in the start menu. Though not required, it would be nice to have one that shows me my tasks running as well.

I have though about using a new shell, like Litestep or Talisman, but I was hoping to find a way without installing a completely new shell.

Any ideas?
 
I think the only thing possible is to use an alternate shell; unless you are a hacking engineer and have the source code to XP's shell (explorer.exe).

 
bblean, bb4win (old), or xoblite. It's EXACTLY what you're describing, but it is a shell (you can use it without installing, though)
 
Funny, on early versions of Win95 (pre OSR2) you could actually get the focus to the start button and hit Alt plus sign or something to bring up a context menu and close the thing. It was great for pranks in college. Ok so yeah I have no real input the OP's question.
