OK well this is a tutorial written BY ME (Beatchu) and everything you need can be downloaded in the zip file. Please don't copy this and post it somewhere else unless you write that it was from
www.cashloopholes.co.uk and Beatchu created it. OK!
This tutorial will make your XP computer look like Windows Vista (or something like it) which is like amazingly cool. This works for SP2 and if needed i will get the files for SP1 but yeah whatever on to the tutorial.
Download the zip file included in the tutorial
Part 1 - Patching the uxtheme.dll
1. Double click replacer.cmd
2. It will ask you to drag and drop the original system file you wish to replace. So go to Start > Run > Type C:\WINDOWS\system32 > And press OK
3. Scroll down to uxtheme.dll (they are in alphabetical order so it is quite easy to find)
4. Drag and drop it into the window of replacer.cmd and press enter
5. It will then ask you for the file you wish to replace it with. So open up the SP2 Dll file in my zip file and drag and drop this one onto the replacer.cmd window and press enter
6. It will then ask you to confirm replacement so double check and if it is ok type Y and press enter, if not type N and press enter
Replacer will now swap these files over. Restart your computer
Congratulations, you can now use custom themes on your computer!
Part 2 - Vistafying it up
Changing the theme
1. Open the make Xp look like Vista folder
2. Copy the VistaXP folder
3. Go to Start > Run > C:\WINDOWS\Resources\Themes and press enter
4. Paste the folder into here
5. Right click your Desktop > Properties > Appearance > Windows and buttons > VistaXP
6. Click Apply
Changing the cursor
1. Open the Aero Cursors file
2. Right click the "Install.inf" file and click on "Install"
Getting Firefox
A great way of getting an impression that you are in fact using Internet Explorer 7, just like how it is on Vista, is to get Firefox and then use one of the many user designed themes, changing how the browser looks.
