classic theme

Not the place... The image file on the Hard Drive. When I look for how to change the Lock Screen image, what I get is information for how to change the Desktop Wallpaper. I don't understand why Microsoft doesn't make a clearer distinction between them as these are two entirely different things...

Basically what the title says. I often find when I go to click a program on the taskbar, if I hold it down too long and drag up it brings up the right click options, the first of which is close. So if I hold onto the mouse button for too long and drag up and let go on close it closes the program...

Hello everyone, I had win7 and I would right click on the desktop hit Personalize, in Personalize i would chose Windows Classic in Basic and High Contrast Themes but i just upgraded to win8 and used the win7 shell thing my brother told me about mostly everything looks like 7 but I have 8 cool...

Is there any way to complete turn off the taskbar thumbnail previews? I'm on classic theme. I tried the following, but it's just delaying not disabling them.. HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced Set ExtendedUIHoverTime to 99999, then restart explorer.exe.

Hi good day to all. I am experiencing a difficulty in my Windows 7 Taskbar because it is stuck in Window Classic. How can I change in my default Windows Aero Theme? I used cmd and sfc /scannow and get an error while scanning. Anyway, here's the preview of my computer specs and problem. Please...

I recently did a system restore on my laptop... HP 625. Windows 7. Then I logged in as normal and I've somehow lost the Personalise option on the desktop drop down menu. I can't even go into pictures and set a background. Also, the Windows 7 theme has completely disappeared and it's changed to a...

How can I make windows 2000 classic login prompt appear on Windows 7 Home Premium, I have no sec policy and donotdisplaylastname in regedit doesn't work

When I log into any administrator account, after the "Welcome" screen finishes, it hangs for about 6 seconds on a black screen (if aero is enabled) and a 'windows blue color' screen (if classic theme is enabled) This does not happen on a standard/guest account This happens on a new and...

In windows 7 there is a glaze on the active window, but in a cruel joke by MS, every other window also has a glaze (just a bit less). Note: My taskbar is using the old style from Win XP. How do I fix this? Ive tried playing with the themes, and at best I can make the active window look more...

I'm new to this forum, so hi all. I'm a SDM for a software house, and decided it was time to evaluate Windows 7 to see whether it made sense to move to it from Windows Vista. The first thing I will say is that we do not like Windows Vista and would love to move away from it. This is primarily...

I have a Compaq Presario V2000, which has only 512MB of RAM. I just so happen to have Windows 7 Ultimate as well, which takes twice that much. I've got a theory that Windows 7 can run perfectly with just 512MB of RAM, here's how I made my discovery: I was given Windows 7 Ultimate for free by a...

Habitually, I keep six or seven folders on my desktop and, when using XP, they would always remember their individual proportions and what part of the screen they were to open up on - that way I could always have several columns of folders side-by-side, with no overlaps, always with the same...

When I load up Windows 7, the first strange thing was the Windows Classic theme... unless it was set there by default, which I don't think it is. When I try and access anything at all (Control Panel, Network Manager, etc.) It refuses me, saying "You do not have permission to access the...

Well i just download and installed Windows 7 Built 7000 And After About 5Mins Or A Few Mins And If I Don't Move The Mouse Then The Screen Will Go Black For 1 Sec And Then The Theme Will Be A Classic Theme And Then If I Move The Mouse Then After About 1min It Will Go Back To Normal Does Any One...

To me, Windows 7 just feels so much different from Xp and past OS's. Even in classic theme, it just seems glossier and more eye candy. Does anyone feel the same? And is there away to make it feel like Windows 95 or 2000? Even a guide for Vista because that feels the same way as 7 to me.
