> What is the advantage of the XP luna start menu over classic start menu?

I might have used incorrect terminology. Like any sane person, I hate
themes that put large, inscrutable icons everywhere. By
"classic", I meant the config change that reverts the Start menu
back to how it was in Win2000 - no recently-used apps or pinned apps, and
no access to Control Panel via a menu.

The XP Start menu does quite a nice job of showing frequently-used apps,
and is configurable to, for example, "pin" Command Prompt to the
main menu. You can right-click the menu items for useful functions.

Actually, I forget what you could not do in Win2000, I just know that
whereas the new XP Start menu was just as shocking to me as it was to
everyone else, I now find the Win2000 menu (when I rarely come across it)
to be less useful ... although I can't quite remember all its slight
issues.
