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.
HTH,
Brian
