Where is my "Start menu" ???
Hmm... just discover this !!
Wondering around the wonderful world of Internet I found the following picture --- http://www.microsoft.com/library/med...startmenu1.jpg Then I click the "Taskbar and Start Menu Properties" on my own PC and found something really weird ! As you can see in the that picture at Microsoft, there are two items under the "Start Menu" tab -- "Start menu" and "Classic Start menu" Mine ... only the "Classic Start menu" appears ! What is going on??? How to make it so that my "Taskbar and Start Menu Properties" looks like the one in the picture?? Please help. Thanks!!

I'd backup my data, format and re-install XP. At least one of the newsgroups you posted to isn't carried by my isp's news server and throws an error when I try to respond. Pick a newsgroup, ask your question and if you don't get a response, ask somewhere else. Cross-posting will get you in my killfile rather quickly.

With the crappy advice you gave as an example of your technical prowess, you should put everyone in your killfile, you moron... that way they would never get a reply from you.

It's a simple fix, though it does require making some changes in your computer's registry. Make a backup of your registry before making any changes just in case. If you don't know how to do that then read this article: How to Backup and Restore the Registry. Now to restore the Start Menu Go to Start = Run and type in "regedit" {without the quotes} Navigate to: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Policies\Explorer In the right-hand pane, right-click on NoSimpleStartMenu and Modify its Value to decimal 0 [dword:00000000] Logoff and logon again (or restart) for the changes to take effect. -- Roy Smith http://roysmith1959.spaces.live.com/

Cross posting would put it into all the newsgroups and once you'd seen it, it would be marked read in all the others when you go there. Excepting groups you don't get of course.

Uh no, I meant cross-posting. I only read one newsgroup, alt.windows-xp. I don't care to see answers from other newsgroups. I would much rather he multi-posted. It saves my killfile from growing so rapidly. And he has a BIG killfile but he is right... **** their is something wrong Sinner, I have been agreeing with you to much lately.... I prefer cross-posting to a few "Relevant" groups rather than finding the same post multi-posted in 6 different groups. When it's cross-posted, I can see what has already been suggested and either enhance an answer, or ignore the thread as "already answered." However, I would prefer never seeing a 'microsoft.public.xxxx' group included in a cross-post. (Too many idiots in them.)
