    It'll only screw up if you screw with the installer half-way through. Like end the process or something stupid like that :/



    But your ideas are good, too.

    Wow, thank you soo much for this. I've been looking for somthing like this in a loong time.

    Edit: So far I've only been able to change my task bar, and got the toolbar on my desktop, the other things aren't free :/ Could you help me?


    Nvm, I figured it out, but is there a way to change the windows, and make them transparent like vista as well?

    Ooh, nice links...I might want to do this for my other computers still on XP although I'm not sure if it slows it down or not o_O
    Yeah, it's a bit old :p

    I hope there's one of these for Windows 7, too :)!

    Thanks for the guide.
    I'm using Bricopacks at the moment, might think of switching.

    Somewhere, lah.
    Personally, i don't like making such customizations.
    they edit system files and stuff. This makes it very vulnerable to system errors and stuff.
    By he way, I there a make windows xp look like mac guide?

    What is the point to this? If you want vista... install vista... Just my thoughts... I prefer to keep my resource usage to a min.
