MSStyles direct after UxTheme patcher, IconReplacer, RK Launcher and Yahoo Widgets occasionally.

Use the most stable softwares for your desktop enhancements. Never use BootXp as its definite to corrupt if some mistakes happen from your side and it will go down along with your OS.
The most stable Desktop Enhancements are:
*Style XP or WindowBlinds
*IconPackager
*Logon XP
*ObjectDock
*Yahoo Widgets Engine

These days, None!!
Living without a computer now!! But using too many computers these days that I don't have time/stop-by/mood to call one a PC and customize the stuff...
I used to, UxTheme.DLL Patcher [For Visual Styles, Mostly ported from Mac OS X or my personal mods] + TuneUp Styler2 [To Change Icons] + Styler 1.4 [For Toolbars] + RK Launcher [As Dock] + AveDesk & AveTunes [For Desktop Gadgets]... Wallpapers, mostly Vectored from PixelGirl & DeviantART...

uxtheme.dll is what controls the application of themes,it checks whether the themes are signed by microsoft or not,if not then it refuses to apply them.
By patching the DLL,non-microsoft themes can be applied as well.

By default windows doesnt allow to use 3rd party themes (Visual Styles) in XP.
But we can patch the "uxtheme.dll" file so that we can easily use those gr8 3rd party themes.
We can do it manually, but there r many s/w available to do it automatically!
U can use Neowin UXTheme Multi-Patcher v4.0 to patch the file and then can use any theme w/o ne problem!
EDIT: Oops! dIgItaL_BrAt has already answered the question.
