1. Start by changing the Start menu: 
Right-click the Start button, choose 
Properties, select Classic Start Menu, and 
click OK.

2. Next, bring back the desktop: Right-click 
a blank part of the desktop and choose 
Personalize. Choose Theme and then choose 
Windows Classic from the Theme pull-down 
menu. Click OK.

3. Finally, put the menus back on top of each 
folder: Open your Documents folder from the 
Start menu. Then click the Organize button, 
choose Folder and Search Options, and choose 
Use Windows Classic Folders. Click OK.

The above steps not only brings back the old 
Windows XP look and feel but also reduces the 
load off an old PC struggling with vista’s 
fancy graphics and layers.

But of course, if you'd rather just moan 
about it...
