If you’ve seen Vista in action, you know that it does have some pretty cool looking icons. For the hard drives, it also has a nice bar graph showing how much space is used/available. TechRepublic has a tip on their Microsoft Windows Blog about how to get these icons in Windows XP:

Vista Drive Icon is a free utility that will transform the drive icons in Windows XP’s My Computer into drive icons that resemble those in Vista’s Computer. Once installed, Vista Drive Icon will display a blue, glass-like bar underneath the drive icon. If the drive is close to getting full, the color changes to red.

Be sure to read the whole tip to find links to the software mentioned.
