All this tools does is ads the same manifest to the same folder as the executable. If the program does not reference "Private Declare Sub InitCommonControls Lib "COMCTL32.DLL" ()" then you will get a run time error that says invalid class or out of memory and others.

This program just adds a manifest file and gives XP style for whatever programs that does not have XP style in my PC. No harm and nothing else altered to the programs. XP Style Hacker really works and it is the easiest way.

It's a great program for beginners, but all it really does is copy a file and rename it. It's still beyond the grasp of some people though (finding the file, changing the extension, etc), so if you don't know how to do this manually, you should probably get this.
