    What is the best way to make XP look like Vista? I currently use: Windows Blinds 5, Vista 2.4 by jemaho, Top Desk, and Styler 1.4. Are there any other software currently that works better than these? Thanks in advance!

    Be careful with that program; it usually fails to remove itself properly.
