How do i hack and skin bottom taskbar of windows 2000 like vista's.

Hello, i am trying to make a hackpack for windows 2000, which will have all the new icons and new looks but the size difference of the files would be 0% before and after. I have been successful so far and now i want to make the bottom taskbar look like Vista's.

1. I do not know where the scheme files for Windows 2000 are located.
2. and i do not know which file/files has the bitmaps for the bottom taskbar.

Thanks for any help. I hope its not Hex editing stuff, otherwise my hackpack is doomed!!!

What you are hoping for is quite impossible. That's why Windows XP is the pretty thing it is. The Windows 2000 task bar is rendered straight by GDI, and is completely vector-based. (It hasn't really changed since Windows 95.) It's not just hex-editing you'd need; it's rewriting large sections of the graphics interface. Sorry.
