I was wondering if there is any way of making the Windows Explorer interface in 2008 Server look like Windows XP/2000 ?
To explain further, I am experimenting with using the published application feature in Windows 2008 Server (RC1). It works fine, but when you use any of the file options for the remote application (eg. file/open, file/save) the interface to find/name the file is the Windows 2008 (and I suppose Vista) Explorer interface. I'm wanting to publish the applications to a userbase that is using Windows XP and will most likely get confused by this new fancy interface. This is why I want the file dialog boxes to look like Windows XP ones currently do.
Does anyone know of a way to achieve this ? It would need to be via GPO as well, as logging on as each user and tick/untick settings is not a viable option.
I've googled and there is stacks of stuff on making XP looks like Vista (ie. installing Aero interface), but not much on the other way around. I've looked at a couple of article that show how to revert the task bar & menus , but haven't been able to find anything for Explorer.
Thanks.
