I discovered a glitch in Windows XP Professional, and most likley
in Home too! It's nothing important, but it's just one of those
things that can be annoying! I'm not sure if anyone else knows about
this or not. Well, Here it is.

Okay, first enable the Silver theme in the display properties'
appearance tab. Then, go to the Start Menu button, no need to click
it, just hover over it, and if you look really close at the top right
of this button, there is a tiny pink dot! It's very hard to see, just
hover on/off repeatedly and you will eventually see it!

Remember, you must be using the Silver theme to see this!

One more thing! It's much easier to see it, -in fact, you can't
miss it at all- if you use the Windows Magnifier! Just hover over the
top right corner of the Start Menu button, look at the Magnifier's
picture of it, and you can't miss this! I would post a screenshot if
I knew how!

Keep in mind, I am using Service Pack 2 with all other updates!

So, Microsoft, maybe you wanna fix this in a Service Pack 3?

Wow. A bug in Windows XP. A whole bug. Imagine that. What are the
odds?

I used magnifier and silver scheme and still didn't see a pink dot on my
Princeton flat screen. And this calls for SP3? I think not.

I apologize. Had to go to 4x magnification to see the dot. Still no need
for SP3!

who doesn't use the silver scheme anyway...

Your OEM probably removed it over the pink dot problem.

This is got to be the STUPIDEST thread of the week!

You sure, <G> I thought that other <OT> one that probably set the record for
longest thread in the shortest time was the "STUPIDEST thread of the week".
BTW, I don't know either. <G>
