Well I suppose the retention of XP trivia would be a perk (?) of maintaining exceptional ignorance of Vista and 7. [e digicons];P[/e]

Oh, and DeskScapes users, here's another one to keep cleaned out: C:Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Stardock\DeskScapes\ExtractedData\ Every dream you've ever previewed in Deskscapes Config is extracted there and will just sit until you delete it (directly from the above directory - deleting the dream does not delete the ExtractedData files). At about 100 meg per dream, it adds up pretty quickly.
[quote]Give your computer a thorough file cleaning[/quote] Add to list: C:\Documents and Settings\[UserName]\Local Settings\Temp\*.* It's another temporary file black hole that can get huge (gigs). If deleting while logged in as that user, 1 or maybe a few files will be locked and in use, just let them sit. If deleting on other users while logged in as admin all should delete and that's fine, a few will re-create at next login. A few renegade apps may lose us
Yep, things are looking pretty hot out there [e digicons]B)[/e] From time to time I see a comment on a skin from someone saying they "can't" use it because it's a Win7 theme. A lot of times the Win7 themes work pretty well on XP (and look great) as long as a person doesn't obsess about the few oddities. So, shy XP users, go ahead and give them a whirl, there's always "delete". [e digicons]:)[/e]

Thanks doc, I'd kind of been wondering about something like this. Didn't know I already had it (WinStep), thanks for mentioning that Jorge. Can anybody point me to a place to interpret what's showing? Some are obvious to me, others not so much. [e digicons];P[/e]

So much misguided talent. If they'd found the holes and properly pursued getting them plugged I'd be applauding them. As it is, just more sewage to be flushed.
Is the XP Pro 32bit or 64bit? If it's 64-bit you may very well be out of luck but I can't guarantee it.
Why cats make great jurors: They happily accept all bribes, then do whatever the heck they want anyway. They have an excellent ability to ignore all things not directly relevant to them. When things get too ridiculous, they just get up and leave. [e digicons]:grin:[/e]

Looks like you're going to need to start up a Support Ticket here: https://esupport.stardock.com/index.php?_m=tickets&_a=submit It'll take them a day or two. Just wait, re-submitting/emailing resets you back to the end of the line.
Only thing that I know is that it won't run on XP under a limited user logon. So whichever Win version you're running, try it with full admin user rights or "run elevated" or such and see if it works. Also might want to make sure you have anti-virus temporarily disabled when you install it. That's about all I've got....
You could try the method in Reply 1 here: https://forums.wincustomize.com/400010 Instead of changing the "ButtonFace" color try changing the "WindowText" color (the last item in the list).
Tip: Keep a copy of your favorite zip utility handy in it's executable state. There's always something you want to unzip "right now". And don't keep it handy in one of the zip archives you keep handy (doh! [e digicons]:omg:[/e] ).

Doc I'm not annoyed with MS because they're a target, I'm annoyed because they appear to be so complacent about closing the barn door just because the horses haven't started wandering out yet. [e digicons];)[/e]

You might try removing the links to D:, E:, F:, G:, maybe H:, and the network link to see what that does for you. Trying to read a CD drive and a network would likely slow things down as would external drives somewhat. To avoid confusion, I'm not with Stardock I'm just some guy trying to help you out.
See Reply #1 here to change system colors within WB Config, I think that will get it. You won't want to change "Button Face" though, but one of the others like "AppWorkspace" or "Background". https://forums.wincustomize.com/400010
