Go and download Seven Aero RC Theme for Windows XP developed by Guttu. Extract the downloaded zip file and copy Seven7RC folder to X:\WINDOWS\Resources\Themes where X is the drive where Windows XP resides.

Now download a nice little app from Lee-Softs, ViGlance, that will convert the default Windows XP taskbar to Windows 7 Superbar.(ViGlance is also included in the theme archive)
