I'm with you on that. I personally don't like the new version, but
we ran a survey of users and 80% preferred to use the same as they
have at home. Not my call!

I've run the RSoP and it comes back as it should - the "Force Classic
Start Menu" item is Disabled.

I think you want to change it to be not defined ....

I'll look into that other newsgroup, cheers for the heads-up.

Good luck !

Until now we've been using the Windows 2000 style Start menu on our
XP machines. Mainly from a training perspecrtive, our users found
it more familiar when we upgraded them to XP. I set the "Force
Classic Start Menu" group policy and set the classic theme on the
staff GPO and all was well.

Anyway, the time's come to switch to the new Luna theme and
new-style Start menu. Again, through GP I've set the Luna theme
(which applies successfuilly) but setting the "Force Classic Start
Menu" item to be "Disabled" isn't restoring the new Start menu. It
just allows people to manually change between the two, which isn't
what I want.

Anyone come across this, or know how to fix it?

Run rsop.msc and look for errors - and I'd suggest you post this in
microsoft.public.windows.group_policy, as the issue is really with
the GPO being applied properly.

Personally, I will stick with the classic interface - I can't stand
that Fisher Price resource-hogging junk! I turn off pretty much all
the XP interface stuff via GPO. That's just me, of course.
