Let's hope E: is a SLOW device. Otherwise, Longhorn has some serious problems, if E: is a hard drive! Marc My website

My only hope is that it will be a single registry key, or something similarly simple, to switch it from the resource-hog default to Windows 2000 UI. I'm not some console/CLI snob pining away for the good old days of 3270 terminals, but transparent windows and icons that preview the file contents are a waste of CPU cycles for me. Make it uber-fancy for the people who have money to burn on $1,000 video cards and gigs of RAM, but give me the choice of turning it off easily too, please. I don't even like the XP themes. I'll take the Win2000 interface on top of my WinXP stability, thank you very much, and leave it at that.

They fluffy crap is the first thing to get shut off when I install a system. I DO keep the enhanced start menu though. I like that.
