Here's one I haven't seen before. I upgraded an older Pentium 4 socket 478 from Vista 32 to Windows 7 Home Premium 32 doing a clean install. I thought that the desktop icons looked larger than they should and I was surprised to see under "personalization", "display", that "larger, 150%" was the...

Following a massive headache with the many failed attempts of figuring out this same issue with Vista, I'm back again with Windows 7. We pulled our Vista attempts with the 1,100 new computers we got and dumped XP Pro on them which has worked great. Windows 7 is looking to be very attractive...

Not sure what has happened but the day before yesterday I got an error stating Windows update service had stopped. I tried to run and it said the service had stopped and I needed to restart. That didn't fix it. I tried to manualy start Windows update and checked BITS and it was also off. I...

I am trying to see just how far I can go with Windows Vista to change the look and feel of it. I have changed my desktop drammatically but I need to know if it is possible somehow to lock the icons in place so that they can't be moved about. I like the look of it and don't want it changed...
