Congratulations, you've just inherited your own Sherlock! Watch as he runs around your desktop and glares at you. If you get bored of watching him, you can pick him up with the mouse and chuck him around for a bit.
WARNING: Sherlock has the ability to clone himself.--
Important information:Shimeji are little mascots that run around the desktop, and there are many others on dA. This is my first attempt at one. The original Shimeji can be found here:
[link]Shimeji can only be run on windows, and you will need the latest java.

Instructions for use (UPDATED)1. Click download link on the side and wait for it to download
2. Double click the downloaded .rar file and a new window should pop up with a 'Sherlock' folder. If that doesn't happen, you need an extractor like winrar
3. There should be a button saying something like 'extract to'. Click it, and specify an easy to remember location. This should extract the whole folder to this location
4. Go to the extracted folder and double click the .exe to get started.
5. To remove, delete the folder
6. To edit the images (give sherlock ginger hair or w/e) go to the 'img' file and you will find all the .pngs. Edit these to your liking =]

Right clicking the icon at the bottom of the screen brings up a menu in japanese.
The options are:1. Create a new sherlock
2. Have the sherlock come over to your mouse
3. Delete all sherlocks but one
4. Return any IE screens the sherlock may have thrown off
5. Exit

Common problems:
Aaaaaaah where do I download?

When I clicked the .exe a box came up in japanese and nothing happened! What went wrong?
Make sure you extract the whole folder, not just the .exe
[Nothing/something unexpected] happens when I open the downloaded file! What do I do?

(The mirrored speech bubble can't be fixed, it's direction depends on the direction Sherlock is facing)--
