Start Menu Classic view only

[Leo]

I have a laptop that only has a selection for classic start menu when I
right click and select properties. Is there a way to enable the normal
Windows XP menu style?

If using Windows XP Professional:

1. Click Start - Run - type GPEDIT.MSC and press Enter key
2. Expand to:
User Configuration
Administrative Templates
Start Menu and Taskbar
3. In the righ-side pane check for the entry called "Force classic Start
Menu".
4. if it is set to "Not Conifgured" or "Enable" then double-click the entry
and set it to "Disable".

For both Windows XP Home and Professional

1. Click Start - Run - type REGEDIT and press enter key.
2. Here Expand to:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\
WINDOWS\CURRENTVERSION\POLICIES\EXPLORER
3. In the right side pane check for entry name called "NoSimpleStartMenu".
4. Right-click the entry and click Delete.

Hope this solves your problem, let us know!
