Classic View and Category View in Windows XP Control Panel
In Windows XP in the Control Panel – the left hand side that says “Switch to Classic View” or “Switch to Category View” can sometimes be missing. To re-enable this you need to click Tools, then Folder Options and under the General tab ensure that “Show common tasks in folders” is selected then click OK.
You can then elect to switch between the user friendly (apparently) Category View or the more featured Classic View.

Are you aware of how to free up space on hard drive on Windows XP – hard drive is 74GB or thats what it displays in properties capacity info of c drive. I am just amazed at all the programs installed that I “rarely” use according to info from computer. Are you aware of the installed microsoft programs we can remove or other programs installed which can be removed with causing the ill fated blue screen death window or crash computer. This is sad and embarrassing to admit, that said, I didn’t have enough room on hd to defrag.
Eventually I did remove some things but am surprised at all the components, programs, etc on the disk drive that we or I don’t use not even touching virtual memory which is an on going issue.
Regardless if you have info regarding the latter of this email, I do want to once again express a Thank for info for control panel
Greatest of days
