Subject   Stopping menu bar blue mouseover - XP and Vista  [SIMILAR]

I run all three of my XP based PC's in 'Classic' theme.

I'm now thinking of upgrading (if that's the word) to Vista, but one thing really bugs me.

In many respects, Vista is a good looking OS. But the one thing that really shouts out to me is the blue highlight that you get when hovering over a menu heading.

To illustrate, I've hopefully embedded screenshots of XP with Classic theme - notice the nice grey highlight, and XP in it's native theme - notice the horrible blue highlight.

Vista continues this. Other than choosing the awful (and it is) Classic theme that ships with Vista, is there any way to stop it?

The preferred look:

The unwanted look:

Cheers,

Si.
