No XP tool bar after W2K upgrade

[shamus]

I have a W2K machine that I upgraded to XP and now it still has the Win98/W2K toolbar. Is there a Reg hack or something I can do to change the tool bar to the XP version?

Display Properties -> Appearance Tab -> Windows and Buttons drop-down list.

Does it indicate "Windows Classic Style"?

If so, switch it to "XP Style".

Sometimes that setting gets carried over during the upgrade.



PS - Hi Shamus. :D

That's the thing..."XP Style" isn't in the drop down menu, just "Windows Classic Style". Weird. I'll try to dig up a reg hack.

i hope that worked for you. Just had a chance to try that out (had a long weekend away from work..) and browsing for the Luna theme did the trick. Thanks again!
