What is that? I have seen that on my system somewhere but I can't remember ever using it. Is it spyware?

I was just poking fun, that's only possible with Vista. (WinKey + Tab to do it in Vista)

What's the point of being able to rotate your windows?

A friend claimed installing this totally messed up his XP install and had to reformat to get his machine working right again.
Is this a known issue or it was just he who fvcked up?

And the first thing I do when I install XP is to make it more like Win98. :Q

Classic Start Menu, Classic skin for WMP, and I set Windows Explorer back to the old ways. I also do away with those damned "personalized" menus. I like my software to be predictable and consistent.

if you want to do this then its your right to but personally i prefer have it pleasant to look at. if its still functional at the same time then that just makes it better too. when i use a computer that looks like windows 98 i just want to shut my eyes the whole time cause it looks like crap

I have it running on my laptop works fine. The only way for it to mess up XP if you have no Idea what you are doing. You need to have experience.

OWW @ MDE: your link does not work but here is this what you wanted?? Thats Win XP there

Functionality > appearance. Besides who (that uses a computer for actual WORK hehe) stares at icons, buttons, cursors, etc. ?

All that crap just slows the sheet down. :laugh:

I preferred Pathminder over X-Tree Gold.
