Change vist compatibility general to xp

Hi,

is it possible to change the start of all Programms generally to the XP or
2000 compatibility? I have many programms that can't start in vista normally.
I have to change the compatibility of all programms to xp or 2000 to get them
started.

Thanks in advance for your help!

No - at least AFAIK - you need to set up each program individually. If so
many of your programs don't work in Vista (and assuming they are business
programs and not 3D games), running XP in a virtual machine using
virtualization software such as MS Virtual PC or VMware Workstation (not
free but better IMO) might be a better course of action for you.
