a few questions.

hey, i just switched back to win2k from xp and i was wondering...

1. does anyone know of where i could get a shell32.dll with the regular xp icons (the ones in win2k blow). if so, could you also give me a walkthrough on how to replace it.

2. is there a program or something that makes it so that i can use 32 bit icons in the systray?

3. is there a way to make the space between the clock and the systray icons a little less wide, like the classic theme in xp?

4. also, is there a way to make the captions under things on the desktop transparent..?

that's all i can remember for now. thanks in advance. :)

why did you drop back to 2k? sounds like you liked xp better...

[kainashi]

xp was too buggy for me, plus all the themes and everything got boring after awhile.

hmm i think its ok...i do agree, the themes get old, but one of the things i like about it is i can change that instead of sticking with the classic. in either case, they both beat NT4 hands down...

Only one I can hit is #4: Transparent Icon Labels

[kainashi]

it stops being transparent when i click the icons...

anyone else who can help...?
