This tutorial will help you in changing the look of Windows XP System Properties dialog box and make it look like Windows 7 dialog box.
Following is a preview of what you are going to get in XP:
You can download it using following link:
You'll need to replace existing sysdm.cpl file present in %windir%\System32\ directory with this downloaded one. (Here "%windir%\ represents "C:\Windows" directory if your Windows is installed in C: drive). You can use "Replacer" to replace the file.
Also make sure to take the backup of original file before replacing it.

VG,
I really like the Windows 7 system properties, but is there anyway to do the customization, but keeping the actual Windows Edition intact?
(instead of it saying Windows Edition: Windows 7 Ultimate, it will say what the actual version (Windows XP SP 2 or SP 3, whatever it happens to be)
Thank you in advance!
