Hi, I have a question, How do I use the 2 registry files that you have in this folder for the iconized taskbar hack? I have my XP patched to use these themes already, but yeah how do you use those hacks since I don't have a program that opens the file to read it since it's a T file, can you explain how I can use those files? I don't want to mess up my laptop. Looking at the screenshot it's a nice theme I like it alot but I just need information on the registry files for the iconized taskbar.
