I want to change my xp icon set to vista

I can't stand vista, but I think it looks pretty slick. Is there a way to swap out the entire XP icon set with the Vista one with out causing my brain to hemmorage?

 

Funny you ask for that, I did it yesterday! Just follow this link:

Advice: google for a portable version of the icon packager.

 

That looks like an awful lot of hassle

Just install this:

I've run it on 2 previous machines and can honestly say it doesn't slow down the computer at all, as it's just changes system files and images.

 

If I try the crystal XP bricopack do I have to manually select each icon to change them? I am not sure how to change the icon of an application or system file.

 

The bricopack worked like a charm! Did not slow anything down and looks exactly like Vista. Very cool. Thanks for the link!

 

No problem mate.

 

Ok, how exactly is this done, and will it affect my Acer and take up too much space?

 

Can someone answer my previous question?

I installed the Vista Bricopack over a month ago and have had absolutely no issues at all. Nothing has slowed down, no problems with registry or anything else. The install was very easy as it loads itself. I installed it at work also and again have had no issues whatsoever.

 

I uses VistaMizer and it works beautifully with no performance issue at all

 

Thank you very much stepppy. I'm downloading right now. I'll let you know how it goes, God willing.

 

Yay! It works beautifully!
