Hi ,

I found this for ur 2nd question , remove my computer properties :
However this is for a Windows 2000 m.c
Download the Xls file and search for "My Computer"

Hi Venkat,

Thanks for the advice.

However I still could not make it work. According to the
explanation note, to select the Windows Classic visual
style, leave the box blank beside Path to Visual Style:
and enable this setting.

I left the box blank and enable the setting but it still
did not change to windows classic. The themes under the
Display properties in control panel\display still show
Windows XP instead of windows classic.

Any idea what went wrong?

Thanks

Sam
