What do you bore with Windows 9x looking at your Visual Basic IDE and project, just turn it to XP looking and you’ll get a modern looking :) .

OK, follow these steps :
1. Type this script :



version="1.0.0.0"
processorArchitecture="X86"
name="WindowsXP"
type="win32"
/>
Your application description here.



type="win32"
name="Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls"
version="6.0.0.0"
processorArchitecture="X86"
publicKeyToken="6595b64144ccf1df"
language="*"
/>

at your text editor such as Notepad.
Write notepad

2. Save that script with name: application.exe.manifest (in this case I save it as vb.exe.manifest) and save in the same folder that application installed (in my case I save it at C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VB98 folder).
Save in the same folder

3. And try it with your Visual Basic 6 now, and you can apply this tricks to the other application (but that’s not always work).
