RayRaz....regarding your hatred for the new XP look.....did you know you CAN change it to the win98 style ?? It is accessible by right-clicking on the desktop, selecting prefrences, and choosing the appearance tab(at the top of the dialog box thjat pops up). THere will be a dropdown menu titled "Windows and Buttons" select "Windows Classic style" to return to that retro win98 look. -big_hoovie-
