INSTALLATION, CONFIGURATION, AND CUSTOMIZATION

The Taskbar and Start Menu Properties dialog box appears, with the Start

Menu tab selected (see Figure 3.11).

Figure 3.11. The Start menu can display the new look or the classic look.

New look or old look?

Your first choice available is to switch between the Windows XP menu system

and the Windows 2000 menu system. Some people find the Windows XP

look a real mess; others find it useful. If you prefer the pre-XP menu struc-

ture, without a lot of distractions, you can switch between the two by clicking

the appropriate button. The mini-monitor shows you what the two will look

like. Notice also that several icons are added to the desktop with the Classic

look (see Figure 3.12) — My Documents, My Computer, My Network Places,

and Internet Explorer. These can be added to the Windows XP desktop by

using the PowerToy Tweak UI covered later in this chapter.
