If you are into a flash looking Vista and don’t care at all about speed/performance then you may want to try enabling the avalon effects.

Before you turn on avalon you need to turn on the Aero desktop.

Once you have enabled Aero then you can turn on avalon;

  • Open regedit
  • Navigate to this location
    • HKEY_Local_Machine\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Explorer
  • Create a new DWORD and call it
    • MILDesktop
  • Set its value to 1
  • Create another DWORD and call it
    • MILExplorer
  • Set its value to 1
  • Reboot your computer
