Any way to turn that one off too? :-) I didn't see it on the site with the registry hacks... Regards, -scott anderson
Post #22,496 by inthane-chan 12/27/01 11:58:48 AM Reply	Easy enough... Windows 2000: Right-click on the task bar (NOT the start menu), select "properties", and UNCHECK "Use personalized menus" or some such. Windows XP: Right click on the start button, select Properties, uncheck "Use custom menus." I think it's the same for 98SE and ME, but I could be wrong.

[link\|http://www.98lite.net/\|The best you can do with Windoze is: load less of it] So far my (and another) 98-lite continues to be invisible, make things faster and ~0 crashes save for POS NS 4.5's very occasional.. mind-loss. Haven't had to reload a sys file even. Dunno what they plan for W2K, but I like knowing they are out there buffering out the BS where possible. Best $25 spent yet, for a reg. version. Ashton
