| | Start Menu Properties I recently changed the Start Menu properties to the classic view with no problems and then shortly changed it back to the normal Vista Start Menu with no problems. After shuting down the computer and restarting the next day the classic Start Menu was back and I cannot change it back to the standard Vista Start Menu. Any ideas or suggestions? Is there a registry entry I can change to fix this? |

| | RE: Start Menu Properties Thank you for the response. Apparently when the Start Menu is changed to Windows Classic the entire theme is also changed to Windows classic. Changing the Start Menu back does not (or at least in my case) change the theme back with it. Doing that through Personalization got it all back to "normal." "Mark L.
