Well, in this little tutorial I will show you how to tweak your Internet Explorer 7 for Windows XP Service Pack 2 to display in longhorn style.

Step 1: Download "Resource Hacker" and Unzip it

Step 2: Open Resource Hacker, Navigate to "C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32" and enter "ieframe.dll"

Step 3: Expand the "UIFILE" menu and then expand the "20481" menu and then click on "1033"

Step 4:
Find the following code towards the top:

code:

---

        bordercolor                     = "themeable(buttonhighlight,buttonface)"
        borderthickness                 = "rect(0,0,0,1)"
        sheet                           = "styleXP"
        >

---

Replace it with:

code:

---

        bordercolor                     = "themeable(buttonhighlight,buttonface)"
        borderthickness                 = "rect(0,0,0,1)"
        sheet                           = "styleLH"
        >

---

Step 5: Click "Compile Script" and then go to "File" and select "Save".  Restart IE7 and Enjoy!
Important: Be sure all Internet Explorer 7 Windows are closed and any programs that use IE7 are closed as well (such as "Download Accelerator")
