I use Classic.

duane

I prefer the XP Modified view

Shelly

I use Classic View. I find it easier to navigate.

Ken:

I use Classic View; don't like all those XP colours, distracting.

That's what the Modified option is for.

>That's what the Modified option is for.

I'll have a look at it.

Edit: I use Themes(Modified Theme), Appearance(Windows Classic Style)

Can't seem to use the various XP options without getting the minimize, maximize, close buttons in colour.

I use the XP look.

XP style here.

I like the XP modified

XP, modified.

Me. I can't take the themes and when it's set to single click instead of double click, it drives me wild.

XP modified for me.

Classic.

Behind every good computer... is a jumble of wires 'n stuff.

I prefer the WinXP modified theme! Took a lil' time to get used to but I really do like it better than the Classic look now.

First thing I do is set things to Classic.
Then System | Adjust for best performance.

I'm running XP. Why would I want it to look like 2000? I use the XP Style with the Silver theme. I only have four things checked on the Visual Effects tab.

I use the classic view as I want my own favorite colors....I see several are using XP modified...how in the world do you do that??? Don't see any options other than their Blue, Green and Silver...am I missing something here...?

You can use your own colors with the XP Theme. That's what makes it Windows XP (modified). Apperance tab/Advanced button.

I must be dense...when I go to the appearance tab and click on advanced it brings up the classic window for color changes even though I have applied XP color....I would think the XP window should show up...it doesn't on mine....I must still be missing something here....?

Plain old XP Style with all the visual effects turned on and the mouse set for single click (different wallpaper though).

I do. Been doing so since shortly after installing XP.

Never used anything but classic.

I used the classic view when I first installed XP. I like it better than the XP style.

XP Modified.

I'm never afraid to try new things and new styles, so when I installed XP I immediately used the XP Theme, now very modified as I use several themes downloaded from the internet, currently Iceman's Brushed Blue Jaquar Theme.

I get a kick out of people who live by the saying "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" attitude.
I'm always stylin'!

Classic theme that i modified with my own colors and fonts.

Classic start menu and folder views for me. The XP explorer bar in folder view takes up too much visible space for me. I've also turned off personalized start menu and fading menus etc.
I still like the XP colors, themes, and clear type fonts etc.

Classic with single click.

XP modified.

XP Modified (Silver)

Classic looked like 98 to me so I didn't see the point. XP sucked so bad I couldn't believe they'd release it.

So, XP themed and modified. So much stuff turned off I can't remember it all.

Ran single click in 98 and it was a pisser for some time that it's impossible for me to use it in XP (it works, but it doesn't work.)

XP look...

Hi

Classic with single click

Chari

Classic start menu. XP everywhere else. I just found the XP start menu too crowded for fast navigation. Because I like my desktop with very few icons, nearly all programs are from the start menu.

Anthony

XP silver modified.

Terry

I use XP silver,

I turned off everything in XP. I switched to Mac OS X.

I use Style XP. Everything is turned on, except I do have the Control Panel in Classic View.

Modified Classic.

XP out of the box.

Modified Xp silver

Classic view for me.

Xp seemed to "clunky." I may get around to finding a modified verion one of these days.

XP Modified. For the 2000 and 2003 servers, I go with the default look.

Same as Darran ...
