Windows 2000 using XP icons & more?

[HardDriv'n]

Hello.

Does anyone know if there is a way, short of using resource hacker, to upgrade the majority of systems icons in 2000 to use those of XP.

Hard Drives, USB ports, CD/DVD, Start Menu, etc...?

Also, does anyone know of an app/proggy that'd allow an "align to grid" option to be available on the desktop?

I was hoping more for a way to replace the SHELL32.dll embedded icons, because the system has no RAM to spare for a constantly running program. The PC I run Win2k on only has 24bit max color anyways, but thanks.

Anyone have a way to align the icons on the desktop, without manually selecting it each time?

Nothing about icon grid I can remember.

You are looking for something like these?
