As it happens always with changes in an interface, some people are crazy about Vista's new looks, while others would like to keep at least parts of what they're used to. For example, most people like the Aero interface, but not so many enjoy the new Start menu.
Of course that if you switch back to the Classic Windows theme, you're going to lose all those shiny, rounded and transparent windows, and we don't want that, so let's make a compromise - what about changing only the looks of the Start menu? Here it goes...
- Right click the Start Orb, then choose Properties from the menu that appears.
- In the Taskbar and Start Menu Properties window, select Classic Start menu in the Start Menu tab .
- Click Apply before closing the window, and the changes will be applied in an instant.
- Enjoy your classic Start menu inside the Aero interface!
If you think the new one looks better, after all, simply go through the same steps again, but select Start Menu instead of Classic Start menu in the second step mentioned above. Good luck!
