But you could use WindowBlinds or simular skinning program and then find a 3.x skin for it.
This is not a really good idea because most of those 3rd party skinning programs are slow. Especially on older hardware.
I don't know of anything like mask98 in reverse? I always wondered why the creators of mask98 never made a MaskXP or something simular? to give 3.x/9x a XP look.
If you're on decent hardware, WindowBlinds isnt bad. My 850Mhz / 256MB laptop runs WindowBlinds without a problem to fake Vista on it. It doesnt do a good job faking Vista, since the transparency and composition arent done... but its using almost no RAM.
I dont know of any programs off the top of my head for this. As Q stated, edit that system.ini file but I dont think the progman.exe is even the same. For the program groups, I dont think it shows the icons for the group itself. Isnt like minimzed windows bar?

Yep. I've always hated that about the progman after 3.x, but then again, I see no point in going back now that I'm used to 6.0.

mask98 was a program for windows 3.11 to make it look like 95/98.

I ran windowblinds on 1.8 Ghz/256 MB of RAM and it was quite slow but bearable.
Since then I've upgraded the ram on that system to 768 MB.
