I want my W2000-icons back

Hi,

is it possible to get the old decent icons of Windows 2000 back. I
don't like these colored icons of XP. I don't want my operating system
to look like a candy store. Can anyone help me to satisfy my
conservative taste :-)?!

Regards,

Johannes

Hi,

It will take a bit of work and I have not scripted this as of yet, but here
you go:

The values that turn back My Documents, Internet Explorer, My Computer, and
Network Neighborhood icons all are in:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Explorer\
HideDesktopIcons\NewStartPanel (or ClassicStartMenu).

To restore the My Documents icon, right-click the
{450D8FBA-AD25-11D0-98A8-0800361B1103} value, modify the Value Data from 1
to 0, and click OK.

To restore the Internet Explorer icon, right-click
{871C5380-42A0-1069-A2EA-08002B30309D}, modify the Value Data from 1 to 0,
and click OK.

To restore the My Network Neighborhood icon, right-click
{208D2C60-3AEA-1069-A2D7-08002B30309D}, modify the Value Data from 1 to 0,
and click OK.

To restore the My Computer icon, right-click the
{20DD04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D} value, modify the data value from 1
to 0, and click OK.
