When you install a new program that adds one or more shortcuts to the Start menu, Windows XP highlights the new Start menu shortcuts for a few days. This highlighting, which appears in orange by default, makes it easier to find the new items and makes you
aware of added items that you might have otherwise overlooked. If you find the highlights distracting, you can turn this feature off.

  1. Right-click the Start button and choose Properties.
  2. In the Taskbar And Start Menu Properties dialog box, click the Customize button to the right of the Start Menu option.
  3. Click the Advanced tab and clear the Highlight Newly Installed Programs check box.
  4. Click OK to save your changes.
