how to make win xp act like win2k

It it a fable or a fact that u can make the interface of xp look like win2k with the same oncontext menus and stuff.

How do i find the system information on xp? on winme and 2k i think, i could just right click the desktop and choose system to view the hd size and other info. how do i do that on xp?

If you want to change the appearance, for example the task bar, right click on the start button and go to properties, then select "Classic Start Menu" this will change from the XP theme to the original windows look

for 'Display Properties' options window: right mouse click on desktop > choose properties
