Hi. Does anyone know how to change the start orb (bottom Left Hand on the
taskbar) to a start button like the one in Win98 or XP?
Thanks,
Andy.

Right click the Desktop and select Personalization. Click Themes in the
next window. In the drop down menu, select Windows Classic. Apply/OK.

Andy said:Thanks I knew about that but I don't want to change the whole theme and
the whole taskbar to classic just wanted the start button instead of the
orb symbol. - I dare say its a matter of time soon some developer brings
out a true looking windows xp theme for windows vista!

I can't imagine more than a handful would
have such a request on their wishlist.
No it would be a boring world if nothing ever changedAndy said:Just asking out of curiosity, if you know what the Orb does,
and you do, why is making it a Start Button so appealing?
Familiarity with earlier additions! ...... Because I like it .......
because I want to!
It would be a boring world if we were all the same!

OK, your heading for trouble.
If you are sure you really want to do this, you need to dive into it and
learn where all of the many pitfalls are. If you are looking for something
that is free, this also means that whatever way you choose to do this,
there probably will not be any support if things go wrong.
Take a look at the following website to get started.
