Win9x Webview for WinXP

Hi,I joined this messageboard a little while back and have been looking through the older messages.I came accross one by "nonameneeded" from August 2007.He had a link to an image of his Win98 webview that he had applied to his WinXP folders.After seeing this image I would like to do the same to my WinXP folders.After browsing the messages etc I found out the background he used is called wvleft.gif. How do I add this to my folders complete with the folder name? I am a complete newbie to the modding scene so simple steps would be appreciated. Do I need any software to do this?

Thank You.

They made it harder in XP by integrating it into the shell. You can still do it though. Instructions are in the second to last section here.

Oh, I almost forgot to point out this little gem by elastic.

What you saw here...

...isn't really the webview you know from Windows 98, it's a modified shellstyle.dll
You can download it here:
http://members.kabsi.at/LIGHTYEAR/shellstyle.dll

It needs to be copied to windowssystem32 but in order to do that (you'll have to replace the original shellstyle.dll) you'll need a program like Replacer:

But make a copy of the original file before you do that!!
