roshan Posted September 26, 2006 Posted September 26, 2006 When you click on the start menu(the classic one), on the right there is a bar that says "windows xp home edition". How the hell do I get rid of that bar? I am sure I removed it before but somehow it has returned and I dont know how to get rid of it.

roshan Posted September 26, 2006 Author Posted September 26, 2006 So it can be removed in the professional version? Or do you mean that it will just say windows xp professional instead of windows xp home and thus I would have gotten rid of it?
Nartwak Posted September 26, 2006 Posted September 26, 2006 I'm pretty sure it just says Windows XP Pro Edition instead.
roshan Posted September 26, 2006 Author Posted September 26, 2006 At least is there a way to change the color away from that annoying blue? Is there an image somewhere that I can open and alter?
Fionavar Posted September 26, 2006 Posted September 26, 2006 What version of the OS are you running? To change colours and such, right click on your desktop - properties - appearance. The universe is change; your life is what our thoughts make it - Marcus Aurelius (161)
roshan Posted September 26, 2006 Author Posted September 26, 2006 I have tried changing everything there, but there is no way to change the color of the bar in the start menu.... It must be an image file somewhere... Im quite sure I was once able to get rid of it entirely... I have no idea how it reappeared.
Fionavar Posted September 26, 2006 Posted September 26, 2006 roshan what SP do you have iinstalled? The universe is change; your life is what our thoughts make it - Marcus Aurelius (161)
Fionavar Posted September 26, 2006 Posted September 26, 2006 Okay roshan got it for you. Start button - right click - properties - start menu - classic - customize - advanced - show small icons I hope this helps. The universe is change; your life is what our thoughts make it - Marcus Aurelius (161)
DGwar Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 As to getting rid of the blue from hell, you'd have to download some skins for windows xp home, or whatever you are using.
Hassat Hunter Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 I just turned on classic mode somewhere... my XP looks quite like 95/98/ME I used years years before XP ^ I agree that that is such a stupid idiotic pathetic garbage hateful retarded scumbag evil satanic nazi like term ever created.

LadyCrimson Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 Yup...it was nice of them to give you the 'classic' skin. I can't stand the XP look. “Things are as they are.

Fenghuang Posted September 28, 2006 Posted September 28, 2006 Mine looks like XP but it's silver. Meaning not the horrible blue and surprisingly transparent when running applications. Blends right in with the scrollbars. RIP
Pop Posted September 28, 2006 Posted September 28, 2006 I use Windowblinds for my XP templates. There are some pretty nifty ones out there. Join me, and we shall make Production Beards a reality!
Diamond Posted September 28, 2006 Posted September 28, 2006 I cringe every time I see the default blue XP theme with a default "Green Hills" background and default Windows Media Player and MSN Explorer (or whatever) icons.
