You can do these things already...this would be useful only to lazy people...but you should know what you are doing before you start messing about with some of these features.

Just my 2 cents.

Vispa 0.1 Beta Software

The program is really not for the novice. Also it was not mentioned that the portions of the program you select to install are implemented during install. You have no choice over the program once installation starts. The computer reboots and Windows Vista Home Premium turns into Windows XP visually. I think there is a lot of more work that is needed for this to become a viable program. This is NOT for the beginner or even a novice. More of what takes place during installation needs to be addressed. Good thing System Restore is the only repairable portion of the program. You have no control once installation starts, you're along for the ride. The readme.txt says nothing but describes the version. A lot more work is needed for this piece of software. You can do the same thing in Personalizations.

I used Vispa to attempt to get "Classic Start Menu" It brought some totally new looking menu. I am unable to go back. It is no longer checked in Standard mode but "Use Modern Start Menu," and two others are checked in "Restore mode" but won't stay unchecked! I don't like this "Modern Start Menu." I want back. How do I do it?
