Customize Basic Theme
Jan 25, 2007On my notebook, my main machine, I can't run Aero, but would like to change the colour of the Vista Basic theme. Does anybody know if there's a registry entry or something like that that would allow me to change it?

Apr 3, 2008There are many themes for Windows XP Luna interface. Windows Vista, however, has only one version of Aero ( we can change the color and its intensity though). Is it possible to make other themes for Aero, like different system button styles or different border, different material, etc. Or, is it impossible to customize it by its architecture? I'm not going to make a custom theme, but am just curious about it. PS : Personally, I like Aero better than Mac OSX's look and feel, except for fonts and menus. I like OSX's larger fonts and translucent menu better.

View 7 Replies View RelatedEasily Customize Screensavers
Dec 30, 2008About a year about I posted a detailed article about customizing the new screensavers in Windows Vista that are also included in Windows 7. Since then a Windows developer known as Onmicoder has taken the tweaks a step further and built a GUI around the registry values. Now users that don’t want to modify the registry manually can customize screensavers with just a few clicks.
You can download the utility on NeoWin’s forums here. Once downloaded make sure you run the utility as administrator. It modifies portions of the registry that require administrative rights to make changes.
Customize Command Prompt
Nov 5, 2007For power users Command Prompt is where you go to get work done quickly and efficiently. If you spend a lot of time using Command Prompt, why not customize the appearance and operation to your preferences? There are actually a few Command Prompt customizations that will make it more useful and good looking.
Just follow these steps to customize your Command Prompt:
Click on the Start Button and key in Command Prompt and hit Enter.
Once Command Prompt has started, right click on the top left icon in the menu bar and select Defaults. Alternatively you can select Properties if you want to have different settings for different Command Prompt shortcuts.
You will now see the four tabs of options to customize. The sections that I always work with are Font, Layout and Colors. To get started, click on the Font tab. Here you will be able to change the font and size used. If you would like a micro prompt as shown below, select Raster Fonts and size 4x6.
On the Layout tab you can specify the size and location of the window as well as the buffer. I usually only change the Screen Buffer Height setting. This controls how many previous command lines are saved and can be scrolled back up through. Increasing this value is useful if you are looking at a large directory with more than 300 files. I always increase the Height value to the max which is 9999.
The Color tab is where you get to have the most fun changing the look of your Command Prompt. Just select what you want to change the color for and then change the color.
Back on the Options tab I recommend turning on Quick Edit Mode. This allows you to easily highlight text without having to go to Edit -> Mark and copy it by just right clicking. Then you can paste it by simply right clicking once more....
How To Customize Search Result Columns
Mar 21, 2008I am desperatly trying to change Vistas default search result columns. Everytime I use the do a search, I change the coulmns to "Name, Folder Path, Size, Type". Unforunatly Vista only remembers my settings for the already changed folders. If I search a different/new folder it defauls back to "Name, Date modified, Type, Folder, Authors, Tags".
Where can I change the default columns? As I do not want to change the columns for each and every folder ... I have already customizes Vista's default folder templates in "C:Users<username>" , but this has no effect on the search result. Customizing the searches in "C:Users<username>Searches" has also no use, as theese are the saved searches.
Customize Installation, GUI Image Manager
Mar 26, 2008i have a legal vista ultimate license unused on any machine and NOT OEM. i would like to install vista ultimate 64 on a new laptop. it came preinstalled with home premium 32 (the T7500 processor so it can take 64bit) i would like to create a custom install disk containing the OS and the HP vista 64 drivers. I would also like if possible to include some of the pre installed bloatware (I know, I know, I dont want MS works or norton, but I would not mind the HP help system and the system monitors and system update etc).
I have created a recovery disk which contains 6 or 7 .wim files each about the size of a CD. I presume the windows (home premium) as well as all the bloatware and drivers are included in these image files. I installed the WAIK and tried to use to GUI image manager (or whatever it is called) to mount the files but could not. I was able to dir using imageX command line, but was unable to mount the image file or files using imagex /mount rw if i could somehow accomplish this maybe i could build a custom image file with the ultimate 64 and drivers and etc/ I guess an alternative is to use vlite, and HP vista 64 drivers that I download

Customize Backup With Home Premium Edition?
May 18, 2008I am using Windows Vista Home Premium and am encountering a problem using Microsoft's own Automatic Backup. I have been using running backups weekly now for many months with no problems. Except for the initial full backup, this weekly backup has only taken approx. 20-30% of a DVD. However, since I have fully installed "The Orange Box," my weekly backup now takes 2 full DVD's.
Even though, backup does NOT backup any temp files & does NOT back up programs, I am forced to do such a big backup because this gaming software does constant updates whenever I go online. I don't want or need to backup these game settings and updates, but I can't see any way to tell my backup software to ignore these files. The only solution I have for now is to disable automatic backups.

Customize Start Menu Power Buttons
Feb 20, 2007There are two new power buttons on the Windows Vista start menu that behave differently than in previous versions of Windows. The main button, that looks like a power button actually puts your computer to sleep, not really turning it completely off. The other button locks your computer. I personally do not like putting my computer to sleep. I would rather turn it off completely to save some power and save some money on my electric bill when I am sleeping.
Follow the steps below to customize these button to work how you want them to work:
Click on the Start Menu and type in Power Options and hit Enter .....

DVD RW Missing
Jan 27, 2009I have been having a problem with what I think is windows updates(vista Bisness 32 bit os). I have a DVDRW/CDRW drive and it goes missing after I update my laptop. Now I have done a full system restore(back to factory sets). To fix the problem, only to have it comeback at me after I update. Now I have found that the driver is showing (Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39) in the general tab) Now when I look in the driver tab under driver details. I see 2 drivers showing for the same thing, one from microsoft and one from sonic.
I have uninstalled the DVDRW/CDRW and restarted the laptop, only to see that the conflict is still there. There is no way for me to roll back the driver as that button is greyed out. I have checked windows updates and I don't see anything in there that is a driver.
However I have found 2 UPDATES FOR WINDOWS VISTA(KB957388) AND (KB952709) that say they are needed to resolve compatability issues. Questions (1) Does either of these have to do with my problem? and if so, (2) How do I deal with these issues?(3) If neither of these updates are the problem what is? (4) How I get rid of the second driver and which one do I remove?
I really would like to have the use of my DVDRW/CDRW rom, as anyone would but I really don't want to take the pc back to factory specs AGAIN only to have the problem again after I update. I asked those question only because I want to know if the updates are the problem, then I can remove them and not let them download again

View 5 Replies View RelatedMissing Desktop Due To MBR?
Feb 26, 2010Some months back I installed Vista 32-bit Home Premium in C: partition. When W7 came out, I installed W7 Ultimate 64-bit in D: as a dual boot. Now I want to keep Vista, but use W7 as the main OS I am going to build on from here on out, so I want it at the front of the hard disk in C: (where it will run faster) and my secondary or experimental OS in D: (Vista).
So I backed up Vista to an external drive, booted from a CD (DriveImage XML BartPE) and restored the Vista image to D: ... then reinstalled W7 in C:.
When I booted after re-installing W7, the multi-boot menu listed Windows 7 twice, instead of Windows 7 and Vista, which I kind of expected, because W7 *had* been in D: and now it was in C: "too." I used Easy BCDEdit to correct the text.
Now the machine boots into W7 fine, but when I try to boot to Vista, I get the usual logo, then the Welcome screen, which lasts a bit longer than it would if nothing was hooey... then I get a cursor (responsive) and a black (empty) desktop.
I used Ctl Atl Del to access Task Mgr, and tried clicking the New Task button and entering explorer.exe, but it is looking at my C: drive for explorer, rather than where it SHOULD be looking in D:, because a funky, unstable, nonfunctional W7 desktop finally came up INSIDE VISTA!! (mind you, W7 is 64-bit!)
I shut down and tried booting into safe mode.... Got the same result of a black screen, and tried entering D:windowsexplorer.exe but got the same error message:
"...ieframe.dll is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error..."
..and again the W7 desktop "tried" to come up.
I suspect it's looking in W7's folder (C:) because the backup image I made of Vista probably contains the original MBR, which mapped Vista to C:. I was hoping when I re-installed W7 to C: with the restored VISTA image already in D: that W7 would create a correct MBR... and it did, I think, but it left the old MBR at the beginning of the D:drive TOO... so when I boot to D:, the MBR record [ON D:] is telling VISTA it is in C:!! Hence Vista goes pokin around in my W7 (C:|) directory.
I downloaded the bootable Vista Recovery CD but it didn't find any problems, and I believe that's because VISTA isn't the problem... the MBR on D: is!
I don't want to have to rebuild the Vista OS... just need to remove the incorrect (old) MBR from the beginning of the D: drive... Can I do that?? Can I test this theory by somehow reading the first sector of that drive?
