    Default make xp look like Vista

    I found a program pack that makes your windows xp look and sort of act like window vista go to CrystalXP.net - Graphics Windows Customization and download the bricopack Vista inspirat ultimate 2.

    your computer may not look like vista as soon as you do it if so right click on your desktop go to properties then appearence and choose vista inspirat 2 that will change your task bar to the vista one and make all icons change to vista look alikes if you want the rocket dock from windows vista then after you download and install the pack there will be a new icon on your desktop thats called vista inspirat 2 config click it and you will get a list of options the first one says rocket dock if it says no choose yes and hit ok now you have the rocket dock. go to crystal xp for more ways to make your xp look like a vista.

    requirements/instructions

    - First, make sure that the pack is compatible with your system (to check you system�s information, right click on �my computer�, then, click on �proprieties�).
    Here is the list of compatible systems :
    - Windows XP
    - Windows XP SP1
    - Windows XP SP2
    - Windows Server 2003
    - Windows XP Media Center (SP1, SP2 or without SP)
    - Windows XP Tablet Edition
    Be careful, this pack isn�t compatible with 64 bit versions (x64) of Windows XP

    - You must uninstall other software like Bricopack, ShellPack or CustoPack before the installation of a new Bricopack.
    - We don�t guarantee the compatibility of our Bricopack with modified (Gold, Light, LSD�) versions of Windows
    - You must have �administrator� rights in Windows XP to install this pack safely.
    - If for X reasons your machine not work with the first boot following the installation of the pack, you can restore your system: Put your CD of XP in the reader and launch the restore console. Type "R" at the invites setup. You have the console with prompt "the c:\WINDOWS >", type: "BATCH BricoPackUninst.txt". Type EXIT when the operation finished.

    Oh, I had this.
    I didn't really like it, it lagged my computer for some reason.
    It does make it look like Vista, though. So if that is what you are looking for, this is what you want.
    I use Flyakite OS X now. It makes it, you guessed it, like a mac!

    All I like about the mac desktop is the dock at the bottom.
    Otherwise I'd much rather go with the windows set up :]

    I love it!
    The only thing that looks weird is the top of the browser...
    straight black looks strange.
    so i downloaded a second one and they work together =)

    I used this for like 2 weeks when I had xp. I used Windows Blinds though, Same thing basically. Anyway, it seems to use up more memory than vista it's self. Which amazes me, I would advice not to do it, big waste of memory.

    Sweet. But is it safe? Will it delete any files?
