Developer’s Description

Update your icons without updating your operating system.
XP Icons changes nearly 100 Win98/98SE/Me and Win2k system icons to the new Windows XP Icons. The verdict isn't in yet if XP will be the end all for Windows but the icons are great. Includes options to remove shortcut arrows, 'Shortcut To' prefix and colored block behind the Desktop Icon text. Also allows choice of Desktop Icons text colors.

The new version features new XP Style GUI and 10 additional icon changes. Restarting the computer is no longer necessary. Compatibility added for Win98/98SE/Me/Win2k.
