I got a IM from a friend and we were discussing his upgrade to Vista (Hi Vic!!!) and how much he liked the old interface and start menu. I had read about being able to switch the start menu back to the old XP style quick and easy. I walked him through it and decided to write it up also.
Right click on the start menu and left click Personalize
On the Taskbar and Start Menus Properties window choose the radio button for Classic Start menu
Click Ok and you will now find your start menu is just like it was in the previous versions.
how do i make it show a small copy of the window in the taskbar
Christian-
Sorry I am not exactly clear on what you are asking. A small copy of what window?
