roshan Posted September 26, 2006 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roshan Posted September 26, 2006 Author Share 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nartwak Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 I'm pretty sure it just says Windows XP Pro Edition instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roshan Posted September 26, 2006 Author Share 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fionavar Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 What version of the OS are you running? To change colours and such, right click on your desktop - properties - appearance.

roshan Posted September 26, 2006 Author Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DGwar Posted September 27, 2006 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LadyCrimson Posted September 27, 2006 Share 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 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diamond Posted September 28, 2006 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
