If
you are already using classic style log on, this rather
lengthy tweak will completely change the log on to
the Windows 2000/NT style we're all used to.
Step1:
Back up the following registry keys so you can revert
to the default XP style later. Click each key in the
left pane of the registry editor and select File-Export.
Choose a name to save each key as a 'reg' file.
HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\
CurrentVersion\ThemeManager
HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Colors
HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics
Step
2: Create a new '.reg' file by copy-paste the following
entries. Do this in Notepad or another text editor
... do not use a word processor like MS Word. Include
only the text BETWEEN the lines starting and ending
with //. Right click on the new 'reg' file and select
"Merge". Log off or reboot to see the changes.
