I've tried it just to see if it could be done (not that I actually like the XP look), and apparently it can't. XPs GUI system involves quite a few files, most of which don't run under 9x systems even if I changed their intended OS version. There is also the "themes service", and since there is no equivalent of an NT service on a 9x system, that is impossible to duplicate. All programs that you want to use the new style have to also be edited to include a ".manifest" in them too. Use e.g. WindowBlinds or something else to skin 98 GUIs.

However, it *might* be possible to do it on Win2k, since that is an NT-based system.
