Vista - Vista start menu to act like 2003/XP?

03-19-2008

Is there a way to modify the vista start menu to open "All Programs" like the
XP and 2003 menu's did, and not the way vista acts like default?

IE: clicking All Programs in XP/Vista creates a submenu with folders on top
of file links. I don't personally care for vista's over-clustered menu with
folders at the bottom..

Any ideas?

Use the Classic Start Menu, right click the Start Orb (button) and
select properties.

Yes, I'm aware of that. But I was speaking about the XP menu without the
changes vista put into them (modify the way all programs acts)
