I think you can chose between classic Win9x look and this new, colourful and irritating look in XP. DOn't know where and and how, though. Ask Ellis, he is XP-erienced

to have normal desktop go to the taskbar option in control panel (change control panel to classic view first) and change the taskbar back to the old one, this also puts the my computer, recycle bin etc.. icons back on the desktop

Have courage you will make it: everytime now I access a pc running 2000 or 98 looks like Cheops tomb to me!
And don't trust people from far north: life is colourful just like XP where the sun shines :P

XP - eXtreamly Pish?

eXtra Problems?

Control panel is on the left bar in "My Computer"

You can change the looks to win9x, but changing the layout, is a different matter

WinXP - all the headaches on 98, but in a pretty enviroment :P

The classic look is easier to find stauff cos its in the same place as all the previous version of windows

On my 350Mhz, XP runs 100 times better in classic view

Note that XPs layout is actaully a mess. Theres about 70 undocumented programs

One of which is the old version of windows media player - put in for slower comps cos its less graphic intensive.

So why didnt Micropoofs tell us it was there then?

Well its good OS, but theres too many compatibility issues with it

For instance, my brandnew cable modem is not 100% compatible with XP - even tho its brand new

I mean, FFS M$, what are you playing at? You even have problems with your own Steering wheels in this OS!!
