VG PLZ TELL ME CHANGE HARD DRIVE ICON
ABC
worked really well! only thing that annoys me is that all the titles in the title bar of each window are centered and blurred, so it makes it kinda hard to read. everything else is great!
VG
^^ Try the updated version "VistaVG Ultimate".

dear vishal!
i wanted to raise the size of icons on desktop but after raising beyond 49, the icons start to appear in start menu and are not able to be handled. please tell me how to eliminate icons from right hand side of start menu while using windows 7 or vista type of start menu.
VG
^^ Not possible. The theme was designed to keep 48 icon size in mind which is the default size in Vista and 7.
