Disable grid lines in list boxesChecking this box will to turn off grid lines in all list boxes. When using Windows XP with a manifest file you will notice the grid lines don't scroll properly when using the arrow buttons on the scollbars. Paging will also not work properly.

Note that grid lines could always be turned off with BallStat by selecting Properties/Misc tab.
Another alternative is to leave the grid lines on and turn off smooth scrolling with Windows XP (Start/Control Panel/Display Icon/Appearance tab/Effects Button/Uncheck [Use the following transition ...]).
