Can't change start menu & taskbar
For some reason unknown to me, my XP start menu has taken on the appearance
of Win2K ,i.e., the 'classic' look. I've grown to prefer the XP look; when I go into the display properties, the settings say it is the new look, the Windows & Buttons tab only allows Windows Classic as a choice. How can I get the XP look back? -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- FIGHT BACK AGAINST SPAM!

Fixed it! I had my Themes service set to Manual, and once I set it back to
Automatic, that fixed it. This was why I could only find Windows Classic in my list of themes!

Nice to hear that. If the themes service is already on and the problem
persist, the fix resolves it. -- Regards, Ramesh [MS-MVP] AOL: SRamesh2k «·´`·.(*·.¸(`·.¸ ¸.·´)¸.·*).·´`·» «..............
