Force Vista to use Aero Glass.

First thing first,

Aero and Aero Glass both are same. And as usual, vista sux, yeah Big Time. Ok, I agree that Vista is pretty safe considering viruses and firewall issues.. but look what i got here...it will slow down your wireless connection, its hard to find info about how to make things work for vista. So If you are planning to upgrade to vista from you beloved XP (notice caps) then don't you dare to upgrade, because again vista suxx..

Oh, forgot, in case you have vista, and you can't enable aero then...

1. Right click your desktop and click Personalize.
2. Select Windows Colour and Appearance.
3. From the list of colour schemes, click Windows Vista Aero.
4. Click OK.

I know, i know you cant see the options there...so you gotta do some registry edits.

Here it goes..

Open your registry and browse to the following:

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\DWM\Composition

Set this to 1.

The browse to

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\DWM\CompositionPolicy

Set this to 2.

Unless you reboot, you'll have to take one more step and restart DWM by opening the command prompt (must "run as" administrator) and type the following:

'net stop uxsms'

'net start uxsms'
