Favorite links is a feature of vista's explorer. It allows you to access any folder just with one click. You can have this in XP too with a program called FindeXer.
Once you installed FindeXer, go to View>Explorer Bar and select FindeXer. It will appear on the left, you'll notice that the icons and the configuration is not vista like. Right click it and select findexer options.
Here is the perfect vista configuration for it:

Background color: RGB all 252
Hot track BG item: RGB 214, 240, 248
Hot item: RGB 0, 100, 200

Items:
Size 16
Item color RGB 0, 100, 200
Font: Segoe UI, 9, normal (also can be Tahoma)

Seperators:
Solid line, 1, 90%, RGB all 192

To add a item to FindeXer - just drag and drop a folder or shortcut to it.

FindeXer will have awful icons by default, you can change them. Extract the icons (20) supplied in this pack, put them to any folder which will not be moved\deleted\renamed. Then right click a item in FindeXer and select Edit [...]. There you can rename a item and use a custom image,
select browse and go to your icon folder. Select and PNG image and click OK. Now the item will be vista style. You will have to do this with every item. FindeXer saves automaticly, you
can also save the configuration in right click menu.

Vista basic styler toolbar with "Favorite links" text is also included.

Enjoy!

I will not be able to always check a comment on my front page saying that you've used my stock. In fact, I quite hate finding comments there. I explicitly state in my rules for you to send me a note. If you comment on the stock itself I'll at least be notified of the comment but my front page can move without my knowledge. I will try to be courteous even if you don't follow my simple rules but I will not be able to respect someone who doesn't take the time to read the rules of my stock.

TUTORIAL SUPER OUTDATED, DON'T EVEN TRY READING

Tutorial on how to make firefox look like Internet Explorer in Vista


Now downloadable with MS Word tutorial (doc), and titleBar icon changing kit!


OK, I think we all use firefox, and never IE7, because firefox is faster,safer, more reliable and more expendable then any browser present these days. But we are customizing everything right? This is a tutorial on how to make firefox look perfectly like vista. Why? Because we want a vista look in our XP, and because the skin used here is one of the most popular and most efficient of all. Also i wanted to share the best addons and settings I use with you guys!

You can see in the preview typical screenshot of Internet Explorer in Vista, and pimped firefox! Some similarities there huh?

Step 1:

Download Firefox! (5.7 MB) Every computer must have firefox installed - is it a mac, or linux or windows!

Step 2:

Once you installed firefox, you will see the default theme, but no tabs - go to Tools>Options>Tabs and check the "Always show the tab bar"
Step 3:

The most important thing - download and install Vista Aero skin , once you installed it - go to Tools>Add-ons>Themes and select to use Vista-Aero - restart firefox.

Download Vista-Aero for firefox 3 Drag the jar files to opened addons window
Note: it's a little older version, so the vista aero modifier won't work.

Download a patch to make ALL skin fonts look like vista: [link]

Step 4:

You will see the new look, once you restarted firefox, but this is not enough for a vista feeling, follow next steps to make firefox even more closer to IE7

Step 5:

Right-click menubar and select "customize" - then just drag and drop the elements that you don't need from firefox to the window, or those that you need - from the window to firefox. I recommend just leaving navigation bar, search bar, and bookmarks.

Step 6:

Download and install Personal Menu and myFireFox & Vista-aero Modifier. With personal menu - you can right-click the menubar and select to hide it! You can always unhide the menubar by right-clicking areas near navigation panel and deselecting hide menubar.
myFireFox & Vista-aero Modifier is the perfect addon for this theme - You can simply click on tools on the right top side, and select theme settings - from there you can customize the theme.

Step 7:

Optional addons:

Fission - a addon that ads you a progress bar to the address bar background - just like in IE7+ vista, (also much earlier in safari) here is a preview: [link] You can chose a color or a image for it. Press the tools button, select addons, and Fission, click options. Download this Progressbar image (animated and looks almost exactly like vista) 900px, for a larger version (bigger monitors, use the 1280 px version: [link])
Extra progressbars:
IE7 non-animated
Vista Animated
Vista Animated Blue from the fission options browse to the image (make sure the image is always in the specified location). Now you will see a animated progress bar behind the adress every time you load a page!

Firefox Showcase - allows you to see all open pages thumbnails when pressing the showcase (4 squares) button integrated in Vista-Aero theme.

Firesomething
- a great addon for firefox - it allows to change the window title - for eg Windows Internet Explorer instead of Mozilla firefox, there are other funny integrated names - like "Mozilla Firebadger" and "Mozilla Poweroyster"

And that's it! With the add-ons mentioned above you'll have perfect IE7 Firefox!

You can download alot more useful addons - here are few that I recommend:
Dictionaries
These addons allow to have a spell-checking sequences in firefox when typing - very useful, and supports almost every language!

FasterFox - just amazing addon - it speeds up firefox very much - pages load in seconds:
Internet Explorer loading it's own home page: ~6 secs
Firefox with FasterFox addon loading Internet Explorer homepage: ~2 secs

I chose IE7 homepage - because I think it's very overcrowded with useless eyecandy (m$ fails again) - and perfect for testing (other pages like DA load instantly on firefox)

AdBlock plus - this adblocker can block any annoying add (especially flash ads, that are heavy to load for some connections)! And it saves settings for websites - when you come back - the ads are gone.

FoxyTunes - very nice music player - the controls are integrated in the statusbar - so no extra space is needed.

The addons do not slow down firefox, I personally have about 12 add-ons - and no affect on the browsing experience! But if you install too much add-ons - firefox may slow down...
