    When we right click on WinXP desktop and try to change display properties, we can change windows and buttons style to "Windows XP Style" ... and it makes a bunch of changes to the registry. I want to know if its possible to make that property change through VC++ code ? -Cage

      Yes, it's possible. Just use the registry functions.
