Logon: almost there.

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



This method worked quite well with a few exceptions. And since you know so
much, I will try you with these last few details.

In the new profile (to which I copied), Several icons have disappeared

Also, the Start Menu is no longer the Classic Start Menu. Can I get that
back.

Thanks,
CMA
