Make Your Windows XP look-a-like Windows Vista

!!! WARNING !!!


Playing with system files using resource hacker can be Dangerous for your system and it can make your system not working.

So use it at your own risk!


Guys!

Since we all know that Windows Vista has been released but its too costly to purchase. The most interesting thing in Vista is its look, new icons, cursors, theme, sounds, login screen, boot screen, etc. So I'm posting this tutorial to make our existing Windows XP to look-a-like Windows Vista.

Yes! There r lots of Vista Transformation packs available on net but I never use them bcoz they slow down the windows and also install a few 3rd party utilities. So its better to do all the things manually.

In this tutorial, I'll tell u about how to make following things to look-a-like Vista:

Visual style (or theme)
Boot screen
Login screen
Sounds
Mouse Cursors
Windows Icons
Windows Explorer
Progress dialog box
Shutdown/log off dialog box
About Windows box
System Properties dialog box
Windows Classic Startmenu Left-side Image and Start button Logo
and a few other things

So here we go:

1. Vista Theme:

First thing which u should change in ur windows is theme. There r lots of Vista themes available on net. Once I also created a Vista theme for XP called "VistaVG RTM".

Download Link

VistaVG RTM: New Theme for XP Released by ~Vishal Gupta

If u use WindowBlinds, then u can also get the glass affect. U can search on DeviantArt and u'll get lots of WB skins.


2. Vista Boot Screen:

In Vista, Microsoft has removed the graphical boot screen and there is a minimal boot screen with just a progress bar. But it looks nice and u can download a similar bootskin for XP from here:

Just use Stardock Bootskin and apply it.

NOTE: A few members have faced booting problem after applying this Boot skin, so use this at your own risk. You can also make your own boot screen using Tuneup Utilities. For more information read following tutorial:
