Windows Classic Question

[Guest Joy]

When I first got WinXP in my computer, I opted for Windows Classic. Now we

have the same situation in my husband's computer. I selected Windows

Classic for the desktop properties, but when you go to the Start menu, it's

still showing WinXP choices (layout) whereas in mine it's definitely the

Classic choices. How can I can/correct that in his computer?

The Theme and Taskbar/Start Menu have independent settings. Just

Right Click the Start Button, Take Properties and when the details

box opens toggle the radio button to "Classic Start Menu"

Try this, or one of the other related tweaks at Kelly's site:

Thanks for the link. Let's see if this stops my XP installation from

randomly returning to its smarmy look on reboot.
