| | Re: Start button reverted to xp start button??? Demus It surely MUST be in there somewhere because you can set your start menu and toolbars to XPSP2. If you can do that, then there has to be a way to capture the bitmaps.

| | Re: Start button reverted to xp start button??? Shane, Where do you get your incorrect information from? If you have a list of all the resources Vista uses, please pass along as I'd like to dig into them. The traditional start menu button is included. Just turn off all the fancy stuff about Vista and the normal rectangle image comes right back. Demus, You can loose it if you have performance turned down in the system properties. I also remember somewhere in the appearance options to have the traditional menus, toolbars and the likes.
