just google ..... :wink:

cant say what u may find... :wink:

hehehe! u call that a prob??

why r u loading ur pC with themes and making it more slow !

even if u have Itanium 2 Or Opteron processors, and GBs of RAM,

keep ur theme to basic windows only, works perfect and saves ur RAM for other imp WORK!!

ya thts true tht loading themes slows the PC but just wanted to try out the Visual theme of Longhorn

U CUD HAVE SAID "VISUAL THEME"!! U CAN DOWNLOAD TRIAL VERSION OF STYLEXP FROM TGTSOFT.COM OR U NEED TO REPLACE UR UXTHEME.DLL WITH A PATCHER!!! MAIL ME IF U NEED THE PATCHER. IT WORKS WITH SP1 OR WITHOUT SP1!!

hey rj2k please send me the uxtheme.dll patcher
my mail id is shah_sohin@yahoo.com
Thanxs for it

*download.neowin.net/nw_uxtheme.zip

ya i sent the patcher as an attachment!
read the readme.txt b4 doin anythin!
hope it reaches you! tell me if it doesn't coz yahoo sometimes dosent do it properly!

p.s. i am not responsible for any damage! it worked on my system though!

Try using stylexp if you are not sure abt patching system files. Much safer imo.

but patching the file is more effective!!
u can also change ur logon/logoff screens with logon loader or logon studio!
