anyone know of a free program that i can customize my windows with? i tried google'ing but all i get is trial versions and stuff. i wanna change my themes/start menu etc.
Nothing to do what you want to do is free. You can use Wincustomize to get a bunch of apps but WindowsBlinds or STyleXP is what you need to change your theme. Both of which are paid applications.
not all stardock stuff has to be paid for i got a few of them free its only a selection you have to pay for, go on http://www.wincustomize.com/
they have everything
