Vista Add ons.

[g4m3rof1337]

Can I make my vista home premium desktop look like a macs?
With the icons on the bottom and they get a little bigger when the cursor goes on them.


And any other add ons or enhancements you can recommend?

I don't think Vista can do that, but there are free programs that do that. You'll have to check and see if those programs are compatible with Vista. I have only used them on XP.

RK Launcher (freeware):

RocketDock (freeware) and VISTA compatible:
See sample video of program in action: http://one.revver.com/watch/160224/affiliate/65364

ObjectDock (freeware for basics or purchase it for more features)

Like I said, I'm not sure which ones are Vista compatible - but eventually they all will be.
One thing that I like about RocketDock is that when you minimize a video to the dock, you see it still running in thumbnail view (on Windows Vista only). I don't know if the other programs also do that.

Object dock is what i use, it is great, doesnt use up too much RAM and whatnot.

Is there an uninstall in Start/All Programs/ and the RKlauncher folder?
I used it in the past and uninstalled it without problems.
