Information for Windows XP
Depending on the Windows settings, installed applications, and drivers, menus and other
displays may differ, or some functions (such as use of the password reset disk) may be inop-
erable. Check with your system administrator for details.
You can select Classic view for the Control Panel or select the Classic Start menu. You can
also change the way a user logs on or off.
The procedure in this manual uses the method or view of the Windows XP default setting
(not Classic view or Classic Start menu etc.).
