Really two ways of creating the look and feel you want.

1. All the Controls in LabVIEW are simply objects represented by
several images.  You can actually replace the default images with your
own giving most controls your desired appearance without changing the
functionality of the control itself.  To do this follow these steps.
a) simply select the desired object (in your case a slider)
b) goto the 'Edit' pulldown in hte menu bar and select 'Customize
Control'
c) click on the wrench image.
At this point you can select the different images that gives the
slider its appearance and replace them with the images that gives it
more of a windows like look and feel.  The manual will give you more
valuable information about this feature.

2. The other option, if you have a Windows OS,which can be quicker, is
to use an existing Active X control.  I happen to have an Active X
Scroll Bar Control the Object is listed as Microsoft Forms 2.0
Scrollbar.  Half of the Active X controls I have I don't know where
they came from unfortunately this is one of them so if you don't have
it I don't know how you can get your hands on it.  If you don't know
how to use Active X controls in LabVIEW but you are familiar with
Active X controls don't worry it shouldn't take you long to figure it
out.  If you don't know what an Active X control is go back to my
first suggestion.
