There are many transformation packs available which will convert XP’s look & feel to Vista. The one I use is Vista Inspirant, which completely changes look & feel. It also changes startup & shut down tones with a pleasant sound.

Another popular transformation pack available is Vista Tranformation Pack.This pack alsoDoes everything that Vista Inspirant do. Additionally it also features 3D flip which can also be installed Manually .
There are lot of other packs to change XP’s look & feel. Not only to look like Vista, but also other OS like Linux KDE & Mac.

Go to Start->Control Panel->User Accounts and click on your username. Under Related Tasks on the left pane, click Prevent a forgotten password. A wizard will show up. Click next and then insert a floppy disk into your floppy drive and choose to save the reset disk on the floppy.

Enter your current password and then click Next and Finish. The floppy will now contain your encrypted password. If you forget your password, you can just use the Password Reset Wizard to create a new one. Just make sure to create another reset disk once you changed your password. So if you forgot your password and changed it to a new one, create another reset disk by repeating the above procedure again.

All versions of Windows have the same problem. It usually takes a little longer to shutdown when you have the Exit Sound enabled. To disable this go to Start->Settings->Control Panel->Sounds and Audio Devices->Sounds. Scroll down and look for Exit Windows. Click on it once and then under Sounds, choose None. You should see faster shutdown times.
