What's the best sidebar application to use? I'm using Thoosje Vista Sidebar for now.

It's always good to make a backup/ghost an image before proceeding with all these. In the event of mishap, you can easily restore smile.gif

I just installed VTP 8.0.1 and pretty good I'd say. It's not very buggy and I've changed the sidebar to Samurize.

I've been using the latest VTP and I can say it's great. I manually updated some of the apps like ViStart, etc and so far very stable, not causing me much issues except boot up is slow sad.gif

I need to do ghost my freshly installed Windows and do it again to see if it helps.

Btw, the current VTP 8.0.1 doesn't patch uxtheme.dll if you updated to WinXP SP3.

What's a good alternative to ViStart? Are there anything better than this?

No one replied so I guess to get the Vista start menu, I'll still need ViStart smile.gif
