Changing the look of your desktop?!?!

[Reefsmoka]

Hey all,

I want to change the look of my start menu, folders, icons and all stuff like that. I've seen them about, like weird looking start menus (I dont think there official microsoft). Anyone know of some good ones to try?

try windows blinds, you have to pay for the full version but there is a free version

Style XP is good, but it ain't free, currently costs $20.00 which is about £11.50.

There's details of sites offering free themes as well at that link.

You can actually enable Win XP to take different styles by messing about with settings in the Windows folder, I believe, but apparently it's quite risky, very easy to mess up your OS.

Have a search around, I can remember finding instructions on how to do it a couple of years ago.
