The commonly asked customization question ... answered.

For the past month or so since i started customizing my desktop there has been quite a bit of interest shown by various people who have seen the desktop. The most commonly asked question was - "how can i do it on my machine!?" :). So here's a general guideline on how you can do it - feel free to post comments / send emails if you run into problems... :)

1. Download windows customization software. (i am using Windows blinds). Download a skin you like - i am using a classic blue skin designed by some individual that i downloaded from the net.

2. Download a Mac like status bar - there are many options out there - the Yz is just one of the popular options.

3. Download registry entries from msdn. There are .reg files in msdn you can download for a lot of customization like removing your recycle bin, changing system icons etc.

4. Use a little bit of googling and creativity - mainly for customized icons that you might need.

5. Show off your new desktop to other! :)
