Just installed 64-bit XP. Now few questions.

  1. Normal XP's brico packs etc don't work with 64-bit one so will the normal themes of 32-bit XP work on 64-bit one?
  2. In this XP, under "Arrange Icons By" there's no option to "Show desktop Icons". I mean I want to hide my desktop icons.
  3. Where can I get good themes for my XP?

1. No idea, sorry.
2. Its there in all versions, I'm sure. Someone might post a solution.
3. First 10 links:

*www.google.com/search?client=opera&rls=en&q=xp+themes&sourceid=opera&num=100&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8

You should also try WindowBlinds, which works on xp, vista, x86 and x64. Its better than using themes.

1. Most of them will work.
3. From the search results mentioned by Dheeraj, beware: some themes from CrystalXP are malware. themexp.org is a safe place.
