thank you. that worked.

:) Ok, I guess she doesn't. I love my IBM clicky keyboard. it goes clicky clicky, clicky, clicky when I type. My husband is always making fun of me for my loud typing, but I just love the feel of this keyboard. It just feels sooo much better then my laptop. But it is from an era before the win...

ok... I think I found a way to easily fix the folders: http://www.stardock.com/products/iconpackager/ it costs money, but it is only about $10, and most of the icon sets are between free and $5 and it sounds super easy rather then going and doing it all manually or even half manually with...

thanks. I really don't mind change. (I know I sound like I do), I just don't like it when it messes with my life this bad. especially when it is totally random and unnecessary. does your wife have a clicky too? ok, now how do I change a file type without getting another program? I used to...

I do use tabs to a degree, but not because I really want to, just because that is how they open up and I am too lazy to make them into a window. But I was fine without them and wouldn't be upset if they disappeared. (a little confused perhaps since everyone else seems to like them for some...

Ill have to go look for that transparency thing next time I am up there. I think I have seen that screen before but I don't remember that being an option, of course maybe it was a different screen. this system has me so confused.... that's the thing. I DO NOT WANT TABS. I have been using them...

I found the classic before the transparency. I tried to adjust the transparency before. But whatever advantages (and even just the cool look) are not going to outweigh the disadvantages of keeping it transparent. This is what I was talking about with the other folder icons: if you don't pick...

ok, I figured out the easy way to get the windows to look better. it is rightclick on desktop>personalize> scroll to the bottom and select windows classic. it looks just like 98 :D well the colors do, and the start menu says start and is grey :D It makes that weird see through thingy go away. I...

I don't have a winkey. I have an old clicky keyboard. I need my quicklaunch. I like to have FF, my calc, and my 'show desktop' there. Not much, just stuff I need to grab real quick. I know exactly how I did it in XP. It was an option. I can get a screen shot when I am down on my laptop. It was...

thanks. I don't get the point of the icon resorer though. why would they get out of place? is there something about win7 that I don't know yet? I am looking for the button on the taskbar. On XP it is in the quicklaunch area. I think it is called "show desktop" and it looks like a little box. you...

also I see the desktop button, but when I click on it it only gives me a list of the desktop things, is there a way to get the 'show desktop' thingy that was in the quicklaunch area before? I want to actually see the desktop because I remember where things are by location, not by name. (does...

not all the files. one that you pick, or the four most recent. here is a regular folder, one that I picked the image, and one that just has photos in it so it shows the four most recent (in this case there was a rainbow across the street).

no, not the mouse over preview. the one where an image of your choice or four of the most recent images are shown on the folder. I can get a screen shot next time I am on my laptop. you don't have to mouse over or click anything. On 7 it has the half open folder and shows you a portion of a...

ok. I finally found the "view" menu. now I have the names under the folders which is better, but they are still doing that crazy half open thing. the only thing I can figure at this point is to take a screen shot using my laptop (which is still on XP) and then make new icons using the ones...

thanks. I just don't understand why they are changing soooo much. I had to quit using IE after nearly a decade of people trying to get me to switch to FF simply because they moved the address bar and there seems to be no way to fix it. An address bar should go BELOW the menu. Menus are ALWAYS at...
