• Visual Studio Express Editions Did I mess up?

  I created a project, unchecking "precompiled header" and checking "empty project" because I simply want an empty page to work on.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Dumb newbie question regarding XP Styles

  Going through the video tutorials which show forms with XP style borders, etc.  However, mimicking those actions of the trainer, I only see plain vanilla-styled form headers and such.  I understand there's a way to "fix" this, but I don't know how.  Any referral links   Note that I have Visual Basic Express on an XP Tablet edition machine.
