TUTORIAL: Make Your Windows XP look-a-like Windows Vista

[s18000rpm]

Mr. Vista, sorry for off-topic, but i need help in custom "Windows Start" sound.

my audio file- 1minute long [.wav format], & i want to listen it fully , but Windows kills the sound after 15-20 seconds

[[coz it takes 1+ minute for KIS to load(actually 30secs.) & to get link (internet)]]

 

[Vishal Gupta]

^^ Sorry, but I hv no idea about it. I never checked the startup sound length.

 

[s18000rpm]

Ok

no problem

@vishal
thank you for the info, I think I just have to deal with it, I tried windowblinds the registered version and didnt work for me, it gives me the windows classic theme when I choose the glass theme, so I had to remove it.
maybe we'll wait till someone come up with something similar and free

I have started using RocketDock. I have a folder on desktop, when i move(drag and drop) it to Rocket Dock, it work as long as the original folder is on the desktop. As soon as i move or delete it it stop working from the dock. So whats the point in keeping the same folder in two places? Can someone tell me how to make it work from the dock?
Thanx.

Hi vishal, I have a litle problem, please if you can help me.
I followed your start menu tutorial to disable programs and change favorites path to programs and it went well, but somehow I lost the system tools options in accesssories, it only shows internet explorer inside of system tools folder (no defgramentation, system restore...and system restore)
please how can I recuperate that, thank you.

Edit: sorry I just found the solutions, create shortcuts from the path and move to system tools directory, thank you.
