QUOTE(sotong168 @ Apr 15 2007, 04:36 AM) some sites said bootskin is (arguably) boot faster than then default one as it only takes few hundred KB to boot as compare to few MB on windows default (including ntoskrnl.exe). i'm using bootskin btw. So, the difference in size really matters when it comes to cold boot? |

Does anyone know if the "Auto Update function" in Vista Icon Pack v3 serves any purpose? It doesn't look like they have updated this package in a while, and it doesn't seem likely that they will update it in the future... So then is it necessary to install this option/feature and have it take up system resources on startup?

QUOTE(J-Slade @ Mar 10 2007, 12:40 PM) ► Windows Vista Sidebar (for real crazy enthusiast) Recommended Hi...newbies here. I have done till step 3. I open the sidebar.exe and saw a sidebar at my desktop. But i have problem to put it the gadgets. No such folder exist in my C:/Program files/WIndow sidebar/gadgets. So after i download the xxx.gadget, where should i paste them to?![]() [attachmentid=202635] The above sidebar is the ORIGINAL Windows Vista Sidebar by Microsoft. Yes, this is the real deal. But it is rather complicated. But with given time and patience, you can achieve it too. 1) You need to have something called VAIOXP. http://www.aeroxp.org/board/index.php?showtopic=7728 VAIOXP is basically an written program that enables Windows XP to install Windows Vista applications. However, before you begin, you need to install these 4 important stuff first. Prerequisites: * Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable Package * Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 * Wireless LAN API (KB918997) (VAIOXP users only) * Windows Media Player 11 (Windows Sidebar users) 2) Then you install the VAIOXP Preview Build 2 rev. 3 build 4 (for Windows XP) http://www.gcnaddict.com/mirror/vaio/vaioxp_b2r3.4_feb02.zip 3) Then you install the Windows Vista Sidebar http://www.wincert.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=485 4) Installing Gadgets: Download all you Gadgets from: http://vista.gallery.microsoft.com/vista/S....aspx?mkt=en-us Use 7zip archiver to uncompress the .Gadget files to a sub directory then copy that folder to the gadgets folder in Program Files\Windows Sidebar and add .Gadget to the end of folder name.
