After Hours
I saw the pack posted on techrepublic.
I am thinking of applying the Pack to a newly created user account. Ideally, I would be able to switch between user accounts on one computer, one with the pack applied and one without.
Is this possible?

It is the same exact thing, from Windows X, but the one you got here is probably an older version of what is available at Windows X website or Softpedia or Download.com.
There is probably a newer yet still free version you can download.
Anyway, that is the user manual you want. They probably also have forums, just for that program.
As an aside, there are some things you can get from Microsoft that will add Vista-like functionality to XP, including enhanced Desktop Search. There are also some good XP Powertools there.
Enjoy :)

Thanks for the reply. I was aware that there were things from MS that couold provide some of the features in Vista, just not the WInFS when MS first spoke of Vista.
I am thinking creating an user account that has most of the extras and candy that is in Vista. I think there are no plans to go to Vista anytime in the near future, but eventually. I want to have the user account so I can prepare for when Vista is rolled out.

Nothing major that they made for XP, but Search was the only one I could remember.
Unfortunately, no WinFS. That might have made Vista really worth it. If they get a really good sp2 out in the next 12 months, Vista will probably start perking up a bit more, also. Better drivers as hardware vendors get better a writing for Vista as well.
There is always that transformation pack for XP.
I don't know if you were just into the Vista look, but if you like messin' around with the shell and GUI, check these out.
