Change Windows XP Control Panel back to Classic View

If you are used to past versions of Windows, you may not like the way the Control Panel in Windows XP is now organized. That's because, by default, the Control Panel is now organized into several categories. The old Control Panel in the Classic view seemed quicker and easier for most of us to use.

Here's how to switch it back to the good old "Classic Style".

• Open the Control Panel from the Start Menu
• In the upper left-hand corner, you should see a link called "Switch to classic view."
• Simply click on that, and you should see the Control Panel organized the way it used to be.
• If you change your mind, and want the "new" arrangement back, simply click on the link in the upper left corner that now says "Switch to Category view."
