Does anyone know where I could get some windowsXP start buttons that are easy to install no complicated stuff.

Search Google?

anyone else?

you mean styles? stylexp is ok for some people...or you can use the uxtheme.dll patch so u can use themes without stylexp installed (imo is better)

Could we lay off on the sarcasm please? Yes, I'll agree that you all have a point that you should search Google, but if you provide direct links, as Pr0xY has done, then it is much better.

You can find a few good programs, such as WindowBlinds or StyleXP that are easy to use. A much more complicated way is to patch your uxtheme.dll. The advantage of this process is that no external applications need to be running in order for the theme to work.

downloaded WindowBlinds and it works great

windows blinds disnt have agreat range to choose from, all the ones on their site seem to be made by kids and look ugly, style xp is very good as it does logon and boot as well and lets you use most files

themexp.org has alot of stuff

And theres a way in the registry you can change your start bar to say whatever you want, altho ull have to google it because i wont be responsible for the outcome (My friend lost the start bar completley and i had to recover it and crap)

the forum that you can access through my sigpic is the home forum of WindowsX

the creator of MSN6X skins and the Longhorn transformation pack

we have a section dedicated to helping people customise the Windows GUI

and scone, you can't change the taskbar to whatever you want in the registry

the way the startbar looks is set by windows files

just in luck that we have a few members editing these files on a regular basis to change thier windows gui appearance

I'm using NeoTheme:

http://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=283284

Click on the "Patch" tab and hit "Patch uxtheme.dll", reboot and you can use themes from www.themexp.org

On a side note, there's some spyware around on themexp, to get around it, download a theme and execute the spyware installer, but immediatly click cancel. Do this until you simply get .zip files containing the requested style.

About bootskin: Before I installed SP2 I've used BootXP for 6 months, and later I've tried bootskin for about 1 month, and to be honest, bootskin is indeed very unstable, I've had plenty of blue screens during boot. When I was still using BootXP, I only had one BSOD in 6 months, when I was using bootskin, I used to have about five BSOD's a week...

Right now I''m back at the default bootscreen, but maybe I'll change it again someday.

Window Blinds doesn't cause BSods for me

and Style xp is good

just make sure you repatch the UXtheme.dll if using SP2

WindowsBlinds is the best program for changing themes. on www.wincustomize.com you can find also DesktopX wich is an awesome program to change the desktop, but I don't use it because almost all the themes are for 1280x1024 resolutions and my monitor doesn't support it. Anyway, there's algo a program to change the longon screen on WinCustomize, bootcreens, and a whole bunch of programs more. I'm so happy there are this kind of programs to change themes (I'm tired of the ones XP has) just right after WindowsXP don't use anymore PLUS! (Theme changer) from Win98

* Chris4 agrees with post above

I'm using WindowsBlinds at the moment. Apart from the popup that comes up when you first log into windows, its great. Very easy to use.

When I use Style XP itseems to mess up my pc.
