    Last question, how did you make the quick launch icons large? did you use a program, or just use large icons? Whenever I tried using larger icons, it still made them small. Is this the dock hack? or is there a way to hack the windows quick launch bar?
    Thanks for your help bro.

    the dock hack that everyone keeps talking about has nothing to do with mine..

    there are so many variations to docks out there

    Examples:
    1. made in flash
    2. using stardock products
    3. made large icons on desktop and put a rectangular shape on the wallpaper for the icons
    4. centered some icons on the taskbar
    5. you have a MAC
    6. so on..


    well.. first of all
    01. Right click on the Desktop
    02. Select Properties
    03. Move over to the Appearance Tab
    04. Click Advanced button
    05. Now in the drop down menu select icons
    06. set the size (hmm.. not sure i think the max allowed without a hack was 64 or 72) Anyhow there is a reg tweak to make go higher

    that's how u get large icons..

    oh wait large icons on taskbar?
    01. Unlock taskbar
    02. right click on quicklaunch toolbar
    03. Select View > Large Icons

    http://image1.villagephotos.com/pubimage.asp?id_=391925

    changed a few more of the icons, the recycle bin, my computer, etc...
    The apple icons look oh so much better...
    MS needs to get with it.. its time to applify the XP interface... :P

    I do have one question. How can I change the icons in the sytem tray next to the clock? They look like shit.. do I have to do some DLL editting? Or is there a program that will handle it?
    Thanks for any help,

    You will need to get a program like Reshacker and open the file that is sitting in the tray with reshacker, (for example, you want to edit the sygate icon, you open smc.exe) then you go in there, and find the tray icon, and replace it with the one you want to use, and then after restarting it, you should see your new icon
