I recently reinstalled windows after yahoo messenger
totally freaked out, and now my shutdown menu is really
ugly, it has a dropdown menu instead of the nice looking
buttons that it used to have. Please email me if you know
how to change this back...

Hi,

Interesting. Explain freaked out. In the meantime:

Control Panel/Users/Change the Way Users Logon/Welcome Screen or...

Start/Control Panel/Users/Change the Way users log on or off/Use Welcome
Screen and Use Fast User Switching.

Enable the Welcome Screen (Line 80)

The "Welcome" Logon Screen Does Not Appear

If you are receiving Gina.dll error messages:

Restore the Windows XP Welcome Screen (Gina.dll)

Hi,

You can activate the Welcome screen through Control Panel >> User Accounts
>> Change the way users log on or off and put a check next to "Use the
Welcome screen"
