HowTo: (OSXp) Turn your XP to OSX

I got tired of the boring XP graphics so i worked on transforming my machine to OSX style desktop.


What you need:
1. Download and install Rocket Dock
    1.1 Configure the Dock and Icon Settings
    1.2 Set to Run on startup
2. Hide the XP taskbar (You can set it  to auto hide and lock)
3. Disable the Desktop
     3.1 Browse the regkey:  HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer\NoDesktop (Create the key if not found - DWORD) and set the value to 1
     3.2 Log off and relogin.

Optional:
Get an OSX wallpaper, install Safari and iTunes for more OSX feel!
