Control Panel Question

N

NB

Windows XP Home: Before when I would click on the Control Panel the contents
would be in folder form. Today when I go to the Control Panel the contents
are listed out to the side of the Start Menu in a vertical list form. How
can I change it back the way it was? Thanks for any help on this matter.

Hi NB,

If you're using the XP Start Menu:
Right-click in the upper border of the Start Menu, then select Properties,
click on the Customize button, then click on the Advanced tab. In the Start
menu items field, the radio button beside "Display as a menu" has probably
been selected.......click in the radio button beside "Display as a link",
then click on OK, Apply, OK.

If you're using the Classic Start Menu:
Go to Start>Settings>Taskbar and Start Menu. Click on the Start Menu tab,
then click on the Customize button. In the Advanced Start menu options
field, locate "Expand Control Panel". Click in the checkbox beside "Expand
Control Panel" in order to clear the checkmark, then click on OK and OK
again.



Regards,
