Hi,
I know XP allows for a Classsic interface but there still seems to be a
remnant of XP gooiness that I'd like to get rid of. Personally, I really liked
the look of Windows 2000. Is there an easy way to revert back to a Windows
2000 gui (does TweakXP do this?) or is it a matter of registry changes and
whatnot that still doesn't rid one of the Teletubbiness and in addition
leaves the system less stable.
Thank you, Steve.

You can have peace. Or you can have freedom. Don't ever count on
having both at once. -- RAH
