I am going to tell you how to
transform your Windows XP to Windows 7 without using any customization
package.
So read carefully, and follow the instructions and soon i will provide u video tutorial on this topic.
VISUAL STYLER

the folder and simply open TuneUp Styler, and click “Select a Visual
Style for the windows…”. Click Add and then “Load visual style from a
file…”. Select the Se7en, the Windows Visual Style file and then click

ICONS
For
applying Windows 7 icons on Windows XP, you will needed to download the
Windows 7 icon package, which can be applied only through TuneUp
Styler.
Unzip
the folder and open TuneUp Styler, and click “Change icons and names of
system elements…”. Click Icon Packages, then click Add and then click
“Load icon package from a file…”. Select the Windows Seven Icons.tip
file and then click Install.

download Windows 7 Logon Screen, which is also applied through TuneUp
Styler.
Unzip
the folder and open TuneUp Styler, and click Logon Screen. Click Add,
then click “Load logon screen from a file…”. Select your unzipped logon

download Windows 7 boot screen, which is also applied through TuneUp
Styler.
Unzip
the folder and open TuneUp Styler, and click Boot Screen. Click Add,
then click “Load boot screen from a file…”. Select your unzipped boot

Windows 7 logon screen on your XP machine.
Note:
The original boot screen of Windows 7 is an animated boot screen, which
is not possible in Windows XP and Vista. The above BS is just a replica
of Windows 7 BS.
WALLPAPERS
Download
the wallpapers from the following link and unzip the folder and then
copy all the WPs to “C:\Windows\Webs\Wallpapers”. Now all the wallpapers
will be appeared in Desktop Properties.
CURSORS
Download
the Windows 7 original shadowed cursors from the following link and
unzip the folder and then simply right click setup info files and click
Install. All the cursors will be automatically installed to their
default folder. All you have to do is to open Control Panel, then Mouse
and then select Windows Aero Shadow from the cursor schemes.
SOUNDS
Download
the Windows 7 original sounds from the following link and unzip the
folder and then copy all the sounds to "C:\Windows Media". But before
doing this make a backup of the original XP sounds files in the said
folder, otherwise you won't be able to get the original XP sounds files,
once they are replaced by the Windows 7 sound files.

FONTS
Download the fonts from the following link and unzip the folder and then copy all the fonts to “C:\Windows\Fonts”.
SCREENSAVERS
Get the Windows 7 screensavers for Windows XP from the following link. Simply hit the Setup icon.
TASKBAR ICONS
Windows
7 has different taskbar icons. Its little bit tricky to apply them on
XP. You have to replace the dll files in “C:\Windows\System32” folder
using Replacer. See the part 2 of the video tutorial on how to replace
the dll files using Replacer.
Make
sure you had already backup those XP's original dll files, otherwise
you won't be able to switch back. I still recommend you to not to play
with your system files, it will make your system instable
TCLOCK
The
next step in our tutorial is to change the looks of taskbar's clock
into the improved looks of Windows 7. This can be applied through
TClock. Simply copy the program file into “C:\Program Files” and then
run it from there. Also make a shortcut in startup folder.
STYLER TOOLBAR
The
explorer of Windows 7 is very functional and useful for the computer
users. Though, I cannot bring all those features of explorer into XP,
but I will try to make it look like 7. For that you will be needed to
install Styler first. Download the Styler from the following link and
start the setup program, and then restart your explorer. Now unzip the
Windows 7 theme for styler toolbar and copy all the seven folders into
“C:\Program Files\Styler\TB\ Styler’s”. Now right click the explorer
toolbar and uncheck the “Lock the Toolbars”. Then click the Styler, you
will notice the styler’s default toolbar will be appeared below the
other toolbars. Now click small floppy button on the right side and then
select Windows 7 Light theme in the Styler’s menu. The Styler toolbar
will be changed in the Windows 7 explorer toolbar. Now uncheck other
toolbars, i.e. Standard Buttons, Address Bar, etc. Now open Styler from
the start menu’s programs, right click the styler icon in the taskbar
and click show. Then click Toolbar and then check “Hide Menubar
(Explorer)”. Never check Hide Menubar(IE).
FINDEXER
You'd
have noticed the left side pane of explorer of Windows 7, which shows
the shortcuts to some of the important locations on your computer. You
can get the same in XP using Findexer. Download and unzip the folder and
copy it in “C:\Program Files” and install it from there. Now restart
your computer, go to the explorer menu and select Findexer. If the
Findexer does not appeared in the menu, close all the explorer windows
and then open the explorer again, it should appear now.
WINDOWS SIDEBAR
Now
the famous Windows Sidebar. You'd have heard about it a lot of times or
may be you'd have installed it on your machine. Before installing
Windows Sidebar, you must install Alky first. Alky enables the Vista
programs to run on XP.
After
installing Windows Sidebar, you would have noticed the dark shade of
sidebar. Windows 7 does not have this on its sidebar. To remove
this, simply drag your gadgets from the sidebar to the center of the
desktop, and then close the sidebar. Now drag the gadgets back to their
positions.
Most
of the users experience Start Menu appearance bugs in the Windows 7
theme with non-transparent XP style old-fashioned start menu. For
changing this, simply install ViStart. Unzip the folder and copy it in
“C:\Program Files” and then run it from there.
VIGLANCE
To
get the Super Bar or the Taskbar of Windows 7 working with all its
features on Windows XP, simply install ViGlance. Unzip the folder and
copy it in “C:\Program Files” and then run it from there.
DRIVE ICON
The
drive icons in Windows 7 graphically show the total capacity, used and
free capacities of the hard drives. To get this feature in XP, you have
to install Drive Icon.
TRUE TRANSPARENCY
For
having Aero glass effect in Windows XP, you will be needed to install
True Transparency. Since XP has no builtin Aero feature, therefore, you
have no way out, either install True Transparency or ViSplore. I
recommend True Transparency. Unzip the folder and copy the folder in
“c:\Program Files” and then run it from there. After installing True
Transparency, you will notice that your XP's explorer outlook is
drastically changed.
VICON
If
you want icon hovering on desktop like that of 7, install ViCon. Unzip
the folder and copy it in “C:\Program Files” and run it from there. Also
make a shortcut in startup folder. But I'd not recommend you for this,
because it will slow down your system.
