    Goodnight, hopefully someone will pick up on this thread. Thanks again for removing the link. I can figure out all this kind of stuff by trying it and googling for what I need. Good luck, I know you can figure it out! Your welcome for getting all of my help already.

    ok, I guess I better help you out then...

    Now, since you want to change every thing and not just the windows style, your going to need to do a little more.

    First go to http://www.tgtsoft.com/prod_sxp.php then download that, then install it, it's pretty simple, just next, next, next kinda thing. then you can change just about every thing with it. It's just a simple menu system for it all so you can't really go wrong.

    To add more themes and stuff to it you just need to go to open file or some thing, and it will take it zip and all, so you don't need to do any extracting, just find it, and it's done.

    I dont really recommend Flayakite OSX. After using it and getting bored of it, and trying to uninstall it, I messed up my computer to such an extent that the start bar never showed itself no matter what I pressed and did, even a system restore didnt work.

    I had to reboot windows. So I recommend trying WindowsBlinds at http://www.wincustomize.com

    if you want an ULTRA SIMPLE way to convert your XP to Vista (or fairly close to it) Google..."Vista Inspirat" and find a page to download it. I use it and it's great!!! Changes logon/off, shell, icons, menus...everything by itself. You hardly do anything, and it is an easy uninstall, if you need to.

    Thank Chazman...as it was his post that convinced me to try it.

    Is that the one with the "airoglas" stye? I didn't think it looked very good on a LCD, on a CRT it might blur it enough to work, but it lookes hidious when I tried it last night.

    Don't know what you mean by blur it...I think it looks great! It is supposed to be similar to Aero, although you can't 3d scroll through windows like you will on Vista. The main thing that I REALLY enjoy are the icons! I love how the icons look.

    Check it out, google it, there'll be pics.
