You can make Start menu just like Vista. A small free utility will do this for you.

Yeah in my tutorial, I told the way to make your XP look-a-like Vista. There are the steps which can make your Windows Explorer same as of Vista. ;)

Narang has already given the link. :)

^^ Thanks. Actually those window borders are not possible in msstyles. You can have them if you are using WindowBlinds skins. :)

And if you follow my tut, you'll make your Explorer just like Vista explorer. I hv included all the things like:

1. Vista like Breadcrumbs in addressbar.
2. Vista like toolbar under addressbar
3. Vista like bottom common tasks pane.
4. Vista like driver meters under each drive.

and many other things. ;)
