Yep,the title says it all.
When I said transforming XP into Vista,I meant changing some of the effects to the same as of Vista.
These are the tools that are needed.
1. ViOrb for the Vista Start Button.

If everything is ready,install all the Vista transformation programs mentioned in this article. Once the installation processes are completed and you restart your PC, you will need to do some fine-tuning. In 'Welcome Center',click on 'Configure User Account | Apply Current Configuration'. Now you can select the 'Windows Aero' style in the 'Display Properties' window. After restarting your PC,close 'Welcome Center' and install AuroraXP. Use 'Start | Run' to open 'msconfig' utility and enable 'NOGUIBOOT' option in the 'Boot.ini' tab.Now install Visual Tooltip and,if required,change the size of the preview window.You can replace the 'Windows Sidebar' with the 'Desktop Sidebar' if you like.
Hope this helps for those who would love to experience Vista theme on their XP.
