Check out this Microsoft Knowledge Base article: Policy settings for the Start menu in Windows XP

The first item in the list is Disables the new simple Start menu and forces the classic Start menu. Hopefully you can just uncheck that, then enable the new-style Start menu the regular way.

If you have complete freedom to change things then can you not ask to be excluded from the group policy which is enforcing the setting?
