- Able to sort by column in emergeTray, emergeVWM, emergeHotkeys and Alias Editor
- Internal commands AliasEditor and CoreSettings added
- eD’s ability to run in portable mode has been considerably enhanced: eD is able to run completely on top of Explorer (including emergeTray!) – many thanks to computerfreaker for adding this functionality
- All paths are treated as relative (internally) so eD can be run from USB drive without the worry of the drive letter changing – courtesy of computerfreaker
- Several Internal commands (Quit, Logoff, Disconnect, Reboot, Halt, Suspend, Hibernate, EmptyBin) support a /silent switch so there is no user interaction – long over due thanks to computerfreaker for adding this functionality
- VWMNext, VWMPrev Internal Commands (thanks to ADA for the patch)
- Configure applets button added to the Launch Editor list
- emergeHotkeys activation combination can be selected by user
- Warning about conflicting hotkey combinations shows problematic items highlighted in red on list at startup

- Aliases can execute internal commands
- Automatically scroll when the mouse is over the menu up or down arrows
- Thanks to computerfreaker, emergeLauncher supports a Title, the contents of an Entire Folder (static) or of a Live Folder (dynamic)
- Support for 128 and 256 icons in Vista and above (emergeLauncher only)
- Populate the existing theme name in the “Save As” dialogue
- Internal commands support arguments
- emergeTasks allows for tasks to be re-arranged (thanks to endrju)
- Welcome screen (which can be disabled) when eD starts up
- Fullscreen applet hiding is now independent of applet hiding
- Re-implemented “/nostartup” command line option for emergeCore
- emergeCommand now autocompletes Internal Commands

- Full logo added to Welcome dialog (long due public thanks and kudos to AiZ for the design of the eD icon and logo included since version 5.0)
Changed:
- Removed dependency on external zip/unzip libraries
- Removed reg2xml from distribution – assume everybody is using XML now
- If background alpha is 100% don’t convert icons – eliminates CPU hit with CPU monitors in emergeTray

- Internal commands CoreLaunchEditor, CoreShellChanger and CoreAbout renamed to LaunchEditor, ShellChanger and About, respectively (old commands still functional for compatibility)
- Updated to latest tinyXML
- emergeMediaCtrl removed as it is very much out of date
- Applet shadow dynamically appears / disappears based on applet visibility
- Visual Studio project files updated – thank you to Andreas H. for the patch
