XP skins?

Hey,

my sister just got a new laptop, where can i get rid of this horrible green start button? Thanks! Also, they have to be free!

Right Click the desktop>Properties>Appearance. Do Windows Classic and Windows Standard.

Or if you don't want your screen to look like it is from 1986, pick up some themes from here: http://www.themexp.org/

Why didn't you talk her into getting a Mac? Silliness.

If I remember, it costs a bit of coin, but they had the coolest shells Ive seen.

Hey! MY Start button doesn't look like it's 1986, it's the more newer version: it's in Verdana. :D :rolleyes:

I guess you can look up StyleXP, I've heard that works pretty nicely as well but I never tried it.

www.deskmod.com i use that site a LOT

Yep. Aston (link above) is pretty great. Works better than any other theming program that I used (except themexp). Made by a bunch of Russian guys...

StyleXP is great too, but only if you've got WinXP.

Thanks!

Dek, i tried and she actually almost bought one but in the end she's not made out of money...a friend in school just bought my iMac on my reccommendation. He loves it of course! Thanks for that people!

$999 for a laptop isn't bad. How much did she spend on the PC laptop?

?1,600 for a brand new HP with everything..

That's around the same in Dollars. You have to remember that Ireland is one of the most expensive places in Europe to live in...What's $999? The 12'? She say the 12', said it was way to small.
