        <description><![CDATA[I don?t see the point. Techrepublic is targeted at pro users and these users are always the less prone to stupidize their OS with eye-candy cpu-hogging useless-things, we preffer clean, fast, stable Win/Linux systems, and for many of us a command prompt is enough to get the work done!! Please kill the guys of Windows Blinds (joke!).]]></description>

I do change the XP icons for My Computer and the Recycle Bin to the older style icons, which I like better.I've also probably used all the apps mentioned, as well as others, to create my own DLL files full of icons for later use.Nice to see all the tips in one spot. I could have used those back in the day, rather than figuring out the more arcane procedures myself.  But then, i wouldn't have learnt as much.]]></description>
