Which Start Menu Do Ya Prefer

[ultimatejester]

Which Start Menu style do you prefer in Windows XP?

The New start menu style

The Classic start menu style

[3rd gen noob]

new one for me

[ObiWan]

I prefer the Classic one

[ultimatejester]

new one 4 me 2

Classic one is far better for me, as it allows you to be more organised about things. For easy access to your programs, put an auto-hiding toolbar at the side of your screen:

New One!

[I.am]

Classic one!
I am more used to finding things coz of using earlier versions of Windows secondly its more organized and easy for me to find things.

[ObLiViOuS_1.0]

definetly the new one!!

[zapjb]

Classic definitely. As stated much easier to organize.

[J'Pol]

Classic

Doesn't use your processing power on fancy dan graphics. It's easier to work with and I don't feel like a tellytubby when I look at it.

Ummm... Lamsey ?? :blink: Classic ? :blink:

Confused I think...

This is the classic theme >> http://members.shaw.ca/userkey/userkey/XPview2.jpg

And this is the XP theme >> http://members.shaw.ca/userkey/userkey/XPview1.jpg


The Classic themed desktop does not have any rounded toolbars or taskbars. That is only available in the "new" XP theme.

Do you see the light now?

[balamm]

Still looks like XP to me :x

And there's nothing classic about XP http://www.ml20.nowinbeta.org/smilies/badair.gif

Now this is classic >> http://www.windowblinds.net/skinning/images/1-skin46.gif

I prefer the XP style start menu.
Once you get used to its layout its alot nicer than the classic. I don't use XP themes though only classic themes. Then I get the new menu and don't feel like a teletubby when looking at it.

[DWk]

well i like classic style (the button and taskbar), but the xp menu cuz its organized... so i choose classic view but new menu :D

I prefer to have no start menu, but that's probably just the extremely classic me talking. I use quick launchers, and a classic start menu, which is the closest I can get to making it vanish.

It will if you set the toolbar to 'auto-hide' and 'always on top' ;)

[uNz[i]]

Classic for me... it's just a habit I got from years of using win 98SE...

[ultimatejester]

i got a question, does the new 1 really uses up a lot resources as compared to the classic 1

[kieranpercival]

new start menu is the best the clasic sucks monkey ass

I totally agree :) I hate the classic one, it looks good on Windows 9x/ME but for some reason it just looks suckass on XP...don&#39;t know why <_<

[Jay]

i like the new one better

[Smurfette]

Definitely prefer the new menu system.

You know Xp still comes with Progman; it&#39;s located in the system32 folder, so if you really want it to look like 3.11. You can always change it to the shell.
:lol:
Actually that would be kinda cool, seeing a new machine, running XP, and using Progman as its shell.
