Then third party J> skinning programs can be written.. etc. etc.. J> of course even then there's exceptions.. you can always use a J> program called "window's blinds" by stardock.. it has become J> quite stable and quite useable over the past few versions and at J> this point in it's dev cycle I would recommend it. if you don't J> know what it is, it skins all windows even if those programs J> don't have skinning abilities. J> as another option you could even go so far as to replace the J> shell... but I won't get into that... >> Thanks. But XP doesn't suit my needs. You have to register it, >> and once you change 5 hardware items in your computer, your >> licence becomes invalid. I change hardware in my computer all the >> time. J> with regards to this... this is an ill informed statement... you J> can change alot more then 5 items... infact I also change my J> hardware all the bloody time and it has never once asked me to J> re-register. there has been reports done on this, extensive J> testing, and you have to change basically every single piece of J> hardware, at one time, to get it to kick in. J> altho on another note there are patches available to disable this J> feature in windows, then you never have to worry about J> registering in the first place. -- Cheers -- .\\arck D Pearlstone -- List moderator TB! v2.0 Beta/1 on Windows XP 5.1.2600 Service Pack 1
