    No XP tool bar after W2K upgrade

    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.

    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.

    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!
