dont bother, you'll have crap boot times, slower response in menus, and all the other bs you dont need. you might say now that it doesnt matter because your computer is fast enough... but in a month you will be asking yourself why you purposely slowed down a fast machine... and will be trying to get rid of it, finding that the programs used to give this kind of look are in fact all throughout your registry now..... ooh format time. been through all of this.

But why would you turn off the little extra things that XP does? If your computer has XP I would think that it can handle doing all of the things that XP does. Or it probably shouldn't be running XP. correct?

Why use or have XP if ur not gonna use its 'features' seeing as u wouldn't have it if the pc couldn't handle it [img]graemlins/dunno.gif[/img]

The ONLY slowness will be the same as when you use the default WinXP theme (ie: the fruity blue/green one). StyleXP will slow it down no more than the default one. However, if you want more speed, use the Windows2000 style 'skin' ... it's faster than the WinXP one.

Tho I like the style of XP as im used to it now, n if i wanted my pc to look like 2000 I'd use 2000 [img]tongue.gif[/img]
