i am sorry.. what i mean is how to remove any icon that been auto matically added in the sidebar after i installed VTP? i want to remove the clock icon and the rss feed icon.

I'm not sure what you mean, but if you're talking about the gadget and how to close them, just click on the little x on the top right of the gadget or right click and close from there.

I found an alternative to LogonXp, It's called FrontMotion. I have not tried this as I'm no longer using XP, but from the descriptions and screens from the site, it looks pretty promising.

Features

* User reconfigurable logon interface
* Interactive Macromedia Flash Themes
* Remote Desktop support in Windows XP and Terminal Services support.
* Fast User Switching support in Windows XP (Standalone and Domain Mode)
* Configurable Windows 2000 or Windows XP security behavior (Runs Task Manager on Ctrl-Alt-Del)
* Screen Rotation support
* Windows XP Password Reset Wizard support.
* No DLL hacking required. Safe even after Service Pack upgrades.
* Built-in 'recovery mode'.

Check out the Webpage, which has a neat little flash that displays the logons in action.

After installing this, try out Flahorn's Skin for FrontMotion called Energy Milestone 1

Author's instructions to install:
How to install:
1.Download and instal FrontMotion Login
2.Unpack logon to the folder "Program Files\FrontMotion Login\Themes"
3.Open Control Panel in the classic view
4.Click on the FrontMotion Login, choose "Energy[your screen resolution]"
5.Go to "Advanced" tab and check "Use FMLogon (reguires reboot)"
6.Restart your Windows

Well, accordimg to the FAQS on the website:

QUOTE

Does FrontMotion Login use up a lot of memory and CPU cycles?

Flash files are dynamically loaded when they are displayed and unloaded when they are not shown. No extra memory and CPU cycles are used when you are using your applications.

Guys, I have written a tutorial for those who do not want to use VTP6 & WindowBlinds5. Check out our FAQ section on Post #6.

It is safe and stable and secured. However, no glass effect la....

Hope you guys enjoyed it

► Windows Vista Flip 3D
One of the new features in Vista is the ability to switch between tasks in style. When pressing Alt-Tab, the windows actually cascade in a 3D manner for easy preview of which window to go to.

1) If its Flip 3D you want, its TopDesk you're looking for:

It's not ALT tab if you want the aero flipping. It's "start" +tab
