Alright I am somewhat of a n00b at modding. Right now I am running XP Professional with only Style XP. My question is how would I get to the next step? Like I see a lot of people that have posted with all this info on their desktop, like: CPU and memory usage, temperature, harddrive information/usage, what is playing on what channels... I was just wondering how everyone gets that?

Thanks!

I think the program you are looking for is bginfo. It can be found Here

I think its something else
I don't have a link though

samurize would do that
homepage

I just use CoolMon and a hacked UXTHEME.DLL file... Shows my PC's info and lets me change Visual Styles. Object Dock is good if you want a Mac-like menu (the one that pops up)...

SysMetrix

This shouldn't be in the Desktops section...

only a little correction modding it's the mod to a hardware piece the soft-modding it's known as deskmod. refering to the question i think the best options are coolmon and samurize (i personally prefer samurize )
