How to Get the Start Menu Back on XP

The default settings for the Start menu in Windows XP come with a drastically different look than previous editions of the operating system. While some people may like these new changes, others will yearn for the more classic design of the Start menu found in Windows Me, Windows 2000, Windows 98 and Windows 95. Use the Start menu's settings page to get the classic Start menu back on Windows XP.
