ninjageek Posted May 5, 2007 Author CID Share Posted May 5, 2007 Probally spent a few weeks tracking down the software I wanted. There are so many flipping choices. The way I got the drives to apear like vista was a small free prgram I just kinda triped across. I went with stardock stuff. There object dock and window blinds. As I triped across diffrent Icons I liked I saved them aside. I really like the stop light for the recycle bin. I used touch of glass for window blinds but hated the start button. Took me a few days to figure out how to change it. Now That I have everything together and organized, backed up. To start from square one, I could probally do it in less than a hour. The window blinds I changed the button on is saved as well. I learned long time ago back up. Cause in my quest to become a geek I have hit the microsoft xp oh S#@& button several times. Thats the button that says "are you sure you wanna aply these changes" I hit yep. Oh S#@&!!!! Where is my xp disk. Time to reload windows again. Total cost was 40.00 for windowblinds and object dock. Everything else was free. I myself got a better deal than paying 40.00 bucks. Thats all im saying about that I plead the 5th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
