XPME for Windows XP (Home or Pro)
Most older programs work as well in Windows XP as in the operating system for which they were first created. Unfortunately, they do usually look dated compared to their designed-for-XP rivals.
Happily, XPME can give these programs a minor facelift that lets them use XP-style buttons and other controls. It does this by grafting on a special resource (the common controls manifest). The beauty of this procedure is that it is entirely reversible, and a "doctored" application will still run fine on older operating systems with its original appearance.
