Vista Setup to resemble XP

Is there a switch to have Vista control panel and other features of Vista
resemble XP. We are being forced to Vista, but want the familiarity of XP
for our users.

Re: Vista Setup to resemble XP

Open Vista's Help and Support and type CLASSIC
in the Search box. The relevant information will
magically appear.

Re: Vista Setup to resemble XP

David,

At first I changed everything that I could to look like XP, but during
moments when I had the time, I slowly changed the look back to Vista.
Overtime, the look and menus of Vista is actually more efficient than XP.

I knw what I said will be debated, but I find myself spending 90% of my time
on my Vista machines than my XP's.
