Tired of the same old Windows? In this four part guide, we'll show you how to shrug off the Microsoft straitjacket and rebuild your desktop in your own image. It's time to regain control of your PC, with an environment that reflects your personality, your PC's power, and the programs you use on a daily basis.

Part One: Slipstreaming Your Installation Part Two: Changing The Interface Part Three: Installing Add-Ons Part Four: Preserving Your Changes

And don't forget, if you're a Linux fan check out our tutorial about how to build your own Linux distro.

These articles were originally published in PC Plus 279. For more, including the latest on Windows 7 and tutorials on everything from programming theory to staying anonymous on the internet, take a look at our latest issue, in stores now.

Changing the interface...

Use Winstep Extreme (www.winstep.net). I've used Aston & Litestep but WSX is at least as powerful and easier to use (IMHO).
