I wonder if there's a way to switch that option screen from the three icons to the drop-down box like in Win2K. I'm pretty sure it switches to it if you use the classic view for XP, but I wonder if there's a way to change that independantly...

There is an option in the Control Panel to change back to the older style login window and that also changes the shutdown/logoff dialog. You lose the ability to do fast user switching however.
