Taskbar ' WinXP

[nando]

I just installed WinXP, and the taskbar is just like the one from previous
versions of Windows. I wanted it to be like the one on this screenshot:

How do I do that ? I`ve already tried to change it on the taskbar
properties, but it didnt change anything.
HELP ME !

Thank you

Right click the Desktop and select Properties
On the Appearance Tab
Goto the Windows and Buttons Combo Box and Change it to Window XP Style

On the Windows and Buttons Combo Box I only have Windows Classic Style.

Can you send a pic of how it looks now. I am not sure
what the other person was telling you to do...but I don't
have a real option for the classic view...If I could see
what you have and what is different I could probably help
you.

Sorry...I got confused with someone else I was helping.
That advice should work...but send me a pic anyway and I
could be able to figure out what was going on...feel free
to send it directly to my email. You will get a quicker
response that way.

OK
You need to fix that

Themes (Won't Load or only Windows Classic is listed)

Go to Start/Administrative Tools/Services/Themes. Set to Automatic. Also
check your settings here:

Start/Administrative Tools/Services/Terminal Services/Log On. At the bottom
ensure that Hardware Profile Original Configuration is Enabled.

If the above doesn't apply/nor help: Only windows Classic is listed under
Appearance:

1. Right click on the desktop and choose Properties.
2. On the Theme tab, choose the Windows XP.
3. If this option is missing, you may choose Browse... to
C:\Windows\Resources\Themes\Luna.theme
4. The Luna.theme is the theme of the Windows XP.

If Luna.theme is missing: Go to Start/Run/Msconfig/Expand Files: Luna.MS_
and Luna.TH_
