IE Explorer - Kiddie style/WinXP

I am tired of looking at my browser Icons which remind me of a children's book.

How can I change the IE to a more workman like look.

Display Properties --> Appearances Tab ---> Windows and Buttons dropdown menu --> Windows Classic Style

That'll do it.

Well, if you aren't referring to the default GUI with WindowsXP, you're going to need to be a little more specific for me to help you.

I don't really understand "workman like look" or "stupid pretty little icons".

I think he means these.

I don't know how to change them or if they can be changed at all.

Sniper is correct I am referring to the IE explorer icons and classic settings seem to have no effect inside the browser
