Where is my "Start menu" ???Wondering around the wonderful world of Internet I found the following picture --- www.microsoft.com/library/media/1033/windowsxp/images/using/accessibility/customizestartmenu1.jpg Then I click the "Taskbar and Start Menu Properties" on my own PC and found something really weird ! As you can see in the that picture at Microsoft, there are two items under the "Start Menu" tab -- "Start menu" and "Classic Start menu" Mine ... only the "Classic Start menu" appears ! What is going on??? How to make it so that my "Taskbar and Start Menu Properties" looks like the one in the picture?? Please help. Thanks!!

At least one of the newsgroups you posted to isn't carried by my isp's news server and throws an error when I try to respond. Pick a newsgroup, ask your question and if you don't get a response, ask somewhere else. Cross-posting will get you in my killfile rather quickly.
