This does not work and is not necessary.

There is no way to get Aero Glass and Flip 3D in Home Basic.

You can use the "Vista Standard" look which is very aesthetically appealing
but does not have any "transparency". All you need to do is change easily
available settings preference options, not any registry tricks or command
prompt "run as admin".
