i want free windows vista theme for xp... how to apply the theme

You can make your PC look and gain appearance from previous setting by going to Control panel. You can uninstall Win Vista from add/remove programs from the list. When you are asked to return to previous appearance of your computer, just click yes. And the settings will not take effect unless being rebooted.
Thanks.
