Defaulting to "classic" start button.

[jmani]

Hey guys (gals) I just need a quick answer because we are starting our XP rollout tomorrow.

When a user logs in for the first time it defaults to the "new" start button. Is there a way to set the default user to the "classic"? We need this for an image that we start pushing tomorrow. help...eek

p.s. this is for end users that make stupid users look like Einstiens, and a change to the start button will create all sorts of havoc.

run gpedit.msc as administrator.

select "start menu and taskbar settings" under "user configuration" / "administrative templates".

"enable force classic start menu"
