Customizing the Start Menu
Right click on the "Start" button and left click "Properties". From here, you
can select the new Windows XP style Start Menu, or return to the Windows
2000/Millennium style one. You can also customize the two possible choices
using their corresponding "Customize" buttons. This also allows you to turn on
or disable cascading menus and other options that are useful, such as large or
small icons and more.
Bring Back Those Desktop Icons
After you install Windows XP, you probably noticed that some of your icons
from previous versions of Windows you ve used are missing. Microsoft did this
intentionally to help simply and reduce clutter. Of course, for some people,
this isn t the best choice or the user preference. So, if you want those icons
like "My Computer" and "My Network Places" back, just open Display Properties
(right click Desktop Wallpaper, left click "Properties") and click the
"Desktop" tab. Click the "Customize Desktop" button and on the "General" tab
check the items you want. You can also change the icons used by these desktop
items in the same screen. One final tip related to this screen is the "Clean
Desktop Now" button, which notifies you of unused icons on the desktop and
offers to remove them if you choose.
Lock Computer vs. Welcome Login Screen
You must go into Control Panel and open the "User Accounts" applet to change
this setting. Click "Change the way users log on or off". For maximum
security, uncheck the "Use the Welcome screen" option. This re-enables the use
of the "Lock Computer" option from the ALT CTRL DELETE menu, but prevents
multiple users from being logged on locally at a single time. This also
returns to the Windows 2000 style login screen. If you d rather have the
ability to *not* be able to use "Lock Computer" and would rather allow
multiple users to logon to the computer at a single time locally, leave this
setting checked and also check "Use Fast User Switching".
Looking for a Windows XP Compatible Driver?
If you can t find a driver for a hardware device under Windows XP, you can try
to use a Windows 2000 compatible driver for the same hardware. Usually this
tends to work, and in my experience so far, it always has. However, if you can
find a driver specifically designed for use with Windows XP, that is usually
the best and safest option. You can also e-mail the hardware manufacturer and
ask them about Windows XP compatibility and drivers.
