1. Close iTunes.

2. Insert the above code into the iTunesPrefs.xml file, which (unless you've got something weird going on) should be located in C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes (in Windows XP) or C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes (in Windows Vista).

(Super-double-Important: You should back up any live xml file before you edit it like this. If you don't, and you screw something up, you have only yourself to blame.)

Insert the code here (do a search for <key>User Preferences</key>):


3. Save and close the xml file, and reopen iTunes. You should now be able to adjust the ratings on your files by half-stars by clicking and dragging each rating.
