How to Replace XP Pro Icons with Vista Icons.

[font=Times New Roman][size=6]
Hi Geniuses: :)

I downloaded a file with beautiful Vista Icons (lot of them), I do not want to go through changing each individual icon of XP. The Vista icons are in the format of "Icon x.ico", where x is from 1 to 150, e.g. 'Icon 87.ico'

I am avoiding Themes to keep my PC as lean as possible. So please help me how replace all of the XP icons with the Vista icons and of course preferably using a freeware tool. Kindly do not just name the tool without guidance of its usage, as i have downloaded some and got frustrated.........It will also be great if you can advice how to restore my default icons of XP (how to save on the side or where to download them from).

Finally if you can tell me that by changing just the icons, if there will be any extra memory usage (i think not) but ur view will carry more weight.

Looking forward for your suggestions.
