Having perhaps a little too much time on my hands today, I decided to make my Windows XP installation look like Ubuntu. Why bother with Windows XP at all? Well, I still need many windows applications for various classes I’m currently taking, but I like the Ubuntu interface better than the one provided with Windows XP, so making XP look like Ubuntu seemed like a good way to go. I’m actually quite pleased with what I was able to do, and I may stick with this configuration.

Ever get annoyed by that language bar that comes back every time you log into your computer? I certainly have, but I recently found this article about how to keep it from automatically loading. Of course, if you actually need it for something, don’t remove it!
