Hi all

Thanks for the advice.  I am quite happy to learn vista as it is without any 
mods but I've just started working with a client who is losing her sight and 
she is used to xp and finding learning jaws and vista and office 2007 at the 
same time when she really isn't that technical in the first place is a bit 
of a steep learning curve so was hoping that if I could make vista look like 
xp and office 2007 look like 2003 or earlier which I know how to do then it 
would get her up and running quicker especially as she has already started 
her uni course.  Cheers!
Graham

Hi Graham,

I think it is the same, setting everything to classic.  But I think it is a
retrograde step, especially as Vista has some nice features which you will
lose, like the searchable run menu.  For example, you can hit Start button,
Run, then type wor, and you will be on the Word icon.  I love that feature.

All the best

Steve
