Hi,

I just got a new computer at work and I really like the
new look of XP, but for some strange reason, I can't
switch back to that look, I always have the classic look.
I know you normally have to search
under "Settings", "Taskbar and Start Menu" and then the
Tab "Start Menu", but if I go to there, I can only
select "Classic Start Menu", the other option doesn't
appear. Please can some-one help me ?

Thanks in advance,

Tom
