De-emphasize newly added programs in your Start menu (Win XP)
One addition to Windows XP that you can probably live without is
the highlighting of newly added programs in your extended Start
menu. When new software is added to your PC, the new program
appears in a different color on the All Programs list,
immediately drawing your attention to it whenever you access the
All Programs list.
To remove the menu highlighting, right-click on the Start button
and choose Properties. On the Start Menu property sheet, click
the Customize button, and then select the Advanced tab. Deselect
the Highlight Newly Installed Programs check box, and then click OK.
