Hi there, go to Control Panel, double click Display, select the Themes Tab, and from the drop down menu select Windows XP.

Thanks for the help, When I follow your instrucions the drop down menu says "Windows XP (modified)" and "windows XP Classic" not " Windows Xp". I obviosley don't want classic but when I click "Windows XP (midified)". I sill get the same screen as classic.????
How do I unmodify it?

If you have a Windows XP CD, you could try running the System File Checker Utility (sfc.exe). Go to start the Run and type in the open box "sfc scannow" (without quotes) and press enter. This will go through replacing any damaged or missing system files.

Ok, I will try that, but couldn't I use sfc.exe without the XP cd. I would just point to the
%systemroot%\system32\dllcache folder.
Is this correct? Ohterwise I have to wait untill tonight to get my XP CD.

I would try pointing it to that folder first (it cant hurt to try), otherrwise, if that doesnt work, id wait for your XP CD.

i use a total diffrent aproch instead of using the same boaring start menus i downloaded a program called winstep extreme it makes thing look much cleaner changes your start menu desk top and even log on page and has hundreds of themes change able in seconds. so youll be able to change any time you want with out the fuss of disks and system files (god i sound like a sales man for them)
