Hey all, im bored with my windows xp.... i noticed everyone talking about widgets the other day so decided to investigate 
one quick question: do google make a widget? im using the yahoo one at the moment but being as i dont have a yahoo account i thought it may be better to get another one? any advise? 
and back to the main question... i noticed a lot of peole have made different themes for xp, i have download one or two but dont have the foggiest idea of how to use them - they are appearing as a unknown file type... whats the dealio here peeps?
and any ideas? please dont tell me to get a mac etc  or to buy vista as my pc wont handle it also i have tried the vista transformation pack which i didnt get on with - is there anything else out there?

if you install google desktop you can get google widgets and a vista style sidebar

i think it's quite easy, and it also improves the desktop search features of xp as it searches through all of your files.

the file types are unknown unless you get style xp, and then i suggest getting radium vista pack(best IMO) and is easy to apply, it will also chnage your bootscreen and logon/logoff screens
google for stylexp but you can get radium here:
