The wallpaper is called spydis, (doesnt really fit right at 1920x1200 but I think it looks ok anyway) the taskbar/window theme is called 'waning luna' (not sure where to find that, consult t3h almighty google) and you'll need a patched uxtheme.dll or have themexp running to use it as it's an unsigned visual style, not a full theme. You'll need iconpackager from stardock for the icons and the icon set used is shinyblack classic.
To get the icon text to go horizontally rather than vertically I use a program called dcolor, I googled for it but the site I found it on seems to be down. I'll host it somewhere later when I get home from work if anyone wants it.
And yes, that is rainlender 
I¦m only able to find the uxtheme.dll patch, not the original version. Could you help me out?

uxtheme.dll is part of Windows already, you only need to install the patch and unsigned themes are allowed. ;)
Edit: Closest thing to Waning Luna (the only dl I found was down) is Royale Vista by the same author.
new desktop ;)

In the System Properties - Performance Options tab, do you have "Use visual styles on windows and buttons" enabled?
Where can i see System Properties?

Voila 
Edit: Damn, beaten to it.
When you run the multipatcher, a popup should appear from windows file protection asking if you want to keep the new files, otherwise it'll replace them with the originals it keeps in the dllcache folder in system32. Do not insert your xp cd when it tells you to, just say yes to the keep modified files option. If you've done that then after rebooting you should be able to select the visual style as normal.
I'm off to work now but if you're still stuck I'll try and find out how to fix it when I get there.
thx =) but i actually managed to find a simular theme for a program called WindowsBlinds
Linkage
looks alot like the other 1 =)
But yea with that windows xp service pack cd, i could not find mine so i just pressed continue and kept the files as they werer. Like you said
