Windows Vista has 4 editions which can be found here. The new Aero interface is not provided in “Windows Vista Home Basic Edition“, all other editions provide this new cool interface.
But there is a registry trick to enable the Aero interface in Vista Home Basic edition too.
1. Open regedit and goto:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\DWM
2. In right-side pane change value of “Composition” to 1 and “CompositionPolicy” to 2.
3. Restart your system and you’ll be able to select the Aero interface from Desktop Properties.
If you want a ready-made code for doing this, then download following ZIP file, extract it, run the extracted .REG file and accept the confirmation:
enable_aero_in_vista_home_basic.zip
NOTE: Your hardware must follow the minimum requirements to use Aero interface in Vista.
