1. Vista Style Analog Desktop Clock for Windows XP

One of the features that regular users seem to love in Windows Vista is the sidebar's analog clock. Every time I glance at somebody's desktop in a coffee shop they are using one. Windows XP users are not left out in the cold with the ClocX desktop clock that works similarly.The clock really looks slick, especially if you choose a nice looking theme.If you right-click on the clock you can change some of the common options, and also get to the options panel.The options panel has loads of different options you can choose from… note that you can use the Pin to Desktop option in here and remove Always on top if you want the clock below all the other windows.On the Appearance tab you can change the theme to any one of the preloaded themes.
From the clock's right-click menu you can also access the Alarms feature, which is surprisingly full-featured.Clicking on the New button brings you to the Alarm editor, where you can use the standard options for time, date and recurrence, but you can even set it to launch an application, sound or even a video.I'm not a big fan of these types of clocks, but it seems like everybody I know loves them, so here you are!

2. Get Vista Style Drive Icons in Windows XP

One of the nice little features in Windows Vista that you don't think about is the graph of drive space for your drive icons, so you can visually see at a glance how much space is used. There's no reason to upgrade for this feature, especially since some programmers created a small utility for XP that gives you the same functionality.You'll notice the new icon looks very similar to the ones in Vista, but the more interesting addition is the new bar under the icon that gives you a tiny graph of the current drive space.The graph will show up on most of the icon sizes other than the details view.When your drive is running low on space the graph will turn red to indicate that you should probably stop downloading so much.

3.Get Vista Taskbar Thumbnail Previews in Windows XP

It was only a matter of time before people started cloning Windows Vista features and adding them into Windows XP. One of my favorite Vista features is the thumbnails that popup when you mouse over the taskbar. And now I can use them in XP as well.The utility we'll use is called Visual Tooltip, which is a hybrid dock / thumbnail applicaton. With a few tweaks to the settings, we can make it work just like Vista thumbnails.To make your thumbnails look the same as mine, just follow these couple of steps. Download and start the application, and open up the options from the tray icon.Increase the size of the sliders to make the thumbnail bigger, and then uncheck the option for "Size proportional to the target window".Click on the Display tab, and then uncheck the "Show window title"



That's all there is to it.

4. Make Your Windows XP Logon Screen Look Like Windows Vista

Have you ever wondered how to change the default Windows XP logon screen? Today I got the crazy idea to figure out how to make it look like Windows Vista instead, so I'm writing that up for you.You'll have to download and install the free LogonStudio application and make sure that it is set as the default logon handler, which is easy since it will prompt you when you first open it. (Note that this is the same application you can use to customize Windows Vista's logon screen.)
The three default welcome screens aren't very impressive, but there's a ton of great ones on the wincustomize site.Next, download and open the Windows Vista Ultimate Logon screen for XP, and select it in LogonStudio . Once you hit the Apply button, you'll see your Vista-style logon screen for XP.
