A few questions

1) How do I remove the highlighting that appears on the start menu when you click to start a program?
Im sure I have done this before on the Admin. account but it doesnt seem to have worked on the other Limited accounts. Do I have to edit the registry for each?

2) Is there any way that I can change the XP Welcome screen back to the way it was on Win95/98? Rather than have that big blue screen, can I just make it so that I get just the plain ol' grey boxes to type my name and password?

3) I also remember editing something in the registry to shorten the amount of time that the Start menu would take to "disappear" after clicking on a program. It is fine on the admin. account but, again, on the limited accounts, the menu's take a while to fade away after they have been clicked on.

Ok, I think thats it for now. TIA for any help offered :)
 
For the welcome screen, try the program logon loader. You can change your logon screen simple with this program.

For the other two question, i suggest: try a tweaking tool, like customizer xp or magictweak or tweak-xp. I think they will work.

You can find all the progs on www.download.com

I hope this helps :)
 
You can change the way you login by going to Control Panel>>>User Acct>>>Change the way users login.

1) Right click on the taskbar>properties>start menu>advanced>uncheck "Highlight newly installed programs"

2) HKEY_CURRENT_USER\control panel\desktop\menushowdelay

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
