Windows 98 Start button

bobcat45 · 03-30-2006, 07:39 PM

I reccently replaced my old 98 machine with an Xp Desktop, and noticed that the classic view that is offered in windows xp, has a different icon than the one in windows 98. I know their is a way to get the icon from a 98 computer its like a 16x16 bitmap image, but can't find anyplace that will offer it. Is their anywhere on the web or someone who still has a 98 machine that could either post the image?

This is the Start button from WinME, I think it's the same as 98.

And some guides on how to change the button in XP.

koala is correct, it is the same. One thing, 98 looks alittle more grey in color

bitmap, not quite 16x16 but you can edit it in Paint if it's not exactly what you want, resize and alter the shade of grey.
