Default Any good ways to customize Windows 2000?

Hey folks,

I recently reinstalled Windows 2000 on my pc (XP was giving me a major headache) and I was wondering if you guys could recommend some tweaks/programs to liven up my OS...

I've already fiddled around with the bootup screens but it's not really enough.

Thanks guys

NF

Can you tell us just what you want to do, Interface, Usability, Performance, so on so forth.

Since switching back from XP I miss the whole look and feel of it, ie the skinnable toolbars and all that. I've read up on the subject and no program that I've seen can mimic it even close enough to what XP does. Aston Shell is about the only thing that can be considered 'nice enough' to use but perhaps you guys can recommend something better.

Also, the bootup logos, i've noticed that in the 'screenshots' of certain bootup logos the 'loading up' indicator looks perfect however, whenever mine starts up it moves like in the screenshot but there seems to be a graphics glitch where the old normal loader is still there and it makes the entire bootup screen look ugly as hell. Any ways I can fix this?

I'm using PCMedik so Performance isn't really a problem

I think that's it for now.
