So, I had my Start Menu in the Windows XP style because it was the ONLY thing I liked about the XP thing. I've been using my computer already. Suddenly my recycle bin reappears on the desktop and my Start Menu has reverted to Classic style. This is not good. Could my IT department have done this. If so then the question would be what the fuck are they doing fucking around doing that? I'm not impressed. You know when you have things set up just how you like them? I did and now it's not. I don't fancy calling them for the 3rd day in a row to sort out another fucking problem. There's only 1 dude there who it's worth talking to. |

Seems like they've blocked some user-privileges indeed. |

have you tried right clicking on your desktop, going to display properties and changing it on the drop down menu to Windows XP Style? just an idea, otherwise it probably is your IT dept. |

who the hell wants to use that garish Windows XP style anyway! |

seems like some administrative change, yes... they probably just want people to be able to work on all computers with the same interface (there could probably be someone who gets confused with the "new" interface.. some older person or something... I don't know, this is just some theory on how their reasoning could've been) |

and the summary goes like that : u cant do nothing about it. |

It could also be to save system resources. |

i agree with QRDL and qrter.. but still.. if i were in your position and my settings had been reverted to the XP style, i'd throw a mini fucking tantrum. guess you'll have to speak to them, if the option to change it back has disappeared.. |

start/run , type: GPEDIT.MSC then go to: User configuration/Admin templates/Start menu and.../Force classic start menu and then set it to "not configured"... |
||||||||

|

yeah, but it probably works only with admin rights...so ehhh |

Lets get this straight. I dislike the xp style. It's the start menu that I like. IT are well known for fucking around with privileges etc. I'm just pissed that they'd do something like this. That said, they're a bunch of useless cunts. I'm no fucking expert and yet they've called me up on times to ask how to do things. Jesus. |

Well I supposedly have administrator rights. I've been through this many times with them because it fucks up some CAD plugins that i use if I don't have those rights. When they fuck up the whole install fucks up and I have to reinstall the whole shebang again. |

why is it that i.t people are such dicks? i think that guy in The Office pretty much sums up every IT guy ever. |

i_x_ten: fuck knows man. Although one of the dudes, whilst a dumb twat, had the right idea. He quit his job and is now back on contract at twice the price fixing what he was meant to fix when he actually worker there. Actually, not a dumb twat now. hanal: I seriously am tempted. They don't stop fucking fiddling. |
