I just did a fresh win2k installation then update all of the security patches /w sp3 but still have not found the "Compatibility Tab" that usually appears when you right-click propertities of an icon.

Enable Compatibility Mode Properties...

The Compatibility-mode technology is not exposed by default. To enable an interface so that you can use this technology for your programs after you apply Windows 2000 SP2 or SP3:
Log on as Administrator.
Click Start, and then click Run.
In the Open box, type the following command, and then click OK, where %SystemRoot% is the drive and folder in which Windows is installed:
regsvr32 %systemroot%\apppatch\slayerui.dll

and yes, that does say "slayer" ! :)

and just for a little clarification, system root would be in most cases:
c:/winnt

unless of course windows is installed someplace else.
