Yes.

Yeah, The theme will work with any version of XP

The problem at this end is the need for the Classic theme not so for the desktop but for the browsing of two hard drives with two explorer windows open at the same time. Even on Vista currently installed here the following screens will show a distinction where the Vista style has more of a tendency to overlap one window with the other until adjusted. With the Classic theme the window size is retained when set to restore in the folder options. For the Classic view,

For the new Vista look,

I guess I'm somewhat of a diehard and happy with the Classic look still even with Vista running here.

I'd be using the middle screens, with all the aero features

But then you would be missing one or two items that make browsing a drive much easier namely the quick links seen under folders and the "+" sign seen next to them for looking and choosing the sub folders inside those.

do you have the bar on the side for any particular reason?

Always! It alows opening up other things while still being online or going through folders on one of the hard drives here. It's called "multitasking"

even though I could use a dual core cpu instead of the current single core model now used.
