Shortcut To "change Window Colors And Metrics"
Jun 29, 2011
When I search for "change window colors and metrics", windows must run some program, no? If so, is there any way to find out what program it is running so I can create a shortcut to it? I hate finding programs by a text search because I can rarely remember what to search for or worse yet that it requires a search. My first instinct is to browse around in the related control panel applets - which of course in this case fails big time. I am particular about the way the screen looks, so I like easy access to these menus. Does Microsoft really think that this is the way we want to start programs? I am baffled. What was wrong with starting this thru the display applet of the control panel like was done in WinXP? Seemed perfectly logical to me.

I would love it, if I could assign a button to my keyboard that would take the currently highlighted window, and move to it screen 1, 2 or 3 in it's exact current size and position..
Anyone know if that is possible? I know you can move them 1 screen at a time, but I'd like to be able to just hit a single key or shortcut.

In windows XP, I used to be able use "ALT + E + S" to programmatically grab the contents of a command window. This does not work in Windows 7. When you right click on the title, the "Edit" selection no longer has the "E" underlined, indicating the shortcut key to use.
Does anyone know if there is a way to turn these back on?

I recently updated Firefox and somehow IE7 became my default browser. Could have been the kids playing around. I went and switched back to Firefox as default but I have a few internet programs that do not run in Firefox so I had the desktop shortcuts set to open with IE. When I switched Firefox back to default my links switched also. When I open the properties of the link, before you could choose the program you wanted it to open with and uncheck the "make this default" box. Now this box is greyed out. How do I go about changing the browser for only specific desktop links?

I have just got a new laptop with windows 7. Every thing is fine except all programs are working fine and I can see everything on the screen on all programs, except one! That would be a camera program by canon called camrera launcher. The image is so large I cannot get to the bottom to operate the controls. If I change the resolution that messes up every thing else. So I need to fix this screen....

want to change the main window bars (Just add a picture to them) so they are not so boring, i have used themes before so know it is possible, but unsure of how to change this single item. May be that i will have to get an entire theme again but just hoping there is a better way. so to be clear here is what i mean, on my Chrome (I have a chrome theme installed) you see the tree's on the bars, then you see my explorer frame and you see nothing but the plain old boring bar.

On my laptop I have windows 7. But on my older computer I have windows XP.Back in Windows XP I would log into the administrator by doing ctrl alt delete x2 at the login page, and something basic like this would pop up instead of me clicking on an avatar/icon:
Log On to Windows
User name: _____________
Password: _____________
Then I would type in administrator and my password to login as an admin, or I would type in my username(Aaron) and my password. One time when I had a friend over and he started up my computer he made a comment about how my login page had one account(named Aaron), without the subtitle of administrator on it. Part1: Is it natural to have one account not as an admin? I want to keep the Aaron account and leave the administrator hidden, and only be able to access it by doing ctrl alt delete. (so far its fine in Win XP)Now on to part 2 of my question. My parents have windows 7 on their laptop, and the one account(called family) is the admin. If I change my OS to windows 7(which I plan on doing), am I still able to switch to the Admin account and leave Aaron as just a regular user? I can't find a way to do it on my laptop or my parents laptop.I just looked again and if I go to Control Panel - user accounts- change the way users log in/offit says Aaron is the admin. why I can still log in as the username administrator?

Whenever I play a video file (.wmv, mpg, etc) or audio (.mp3), MP starts out at the last size it "remembered." But when it opens the file and starts playing it, the window gets really small, like a default size and makes it difficult and annoying to re-size it to an appropriate size. Most annoying is MP becomes smaller such that the volume control on it disappears to just being a toggle for mute. Is there any way to change the default size of MP?

I know how to personalize my pc with different background colors. However, I would like to know how to use an image stored on my pc instead of a background color. I currently have a slideshow running with my favorite pics and the background color frames those pics, but I would like another image for the background instead of a color.

my GPU is Nvidia Point Of View GTS 450 2GB DDR3. Yesterday I tried to overclock with MSI Afterburner by increasing the values by 60-70 and than I reverted back to original. Today when I started the PC, everything went fine but when I installed The Sims 3 and started it, the PC froze and there were some mixed colors (more like medium length lines, red, purple, green, blue, pink etc. ) on the upper left and bottom right corner of the screen. Than I restarted and it was fine.. Is there something that I should be worried about. The card is bought last year in June/July and it still has warranty. Also I wanted to ask another question, is it better to buy GTX 460 or GTX 560 or just to upgrade this card to SLI

I have a problem with installing a fresh copy of Windows 7 Pro on a Shuttle XPC SN27P2 and was wondering if anyone else had seen the same thing?
Problem:
When I boot from the Windows 7 DVD the installation screen comes up in 8 colours only and the screen res looks like 640x480 on a screen that normally runs at 1600 x 1024 (this is what the original Windows XP installation ran).
Windows XP ran fine and did not have any of these problems (with the installer).
I am reluctant to proceed with the installer as I would prefer to iron out this problem before pushing on with the complete install.
Has anyone else seen this?

I have a HP Pavilion dm1 laptop. When I switch to battery I lose colors. Light greys turn to white etc. I think this is a power saving measure but it is really annoying. This does not occur when I am using my power adapter.
Does anyone know what this is and where I can disable it?

I've just installed my Win 7 yesterday for the first time and immediatly grabbed 'Dark Agility' Theme. Althought the theme looks very fine to me, i've found several problems such as black typing fields and black fonts on a dark grey background. Needless to say that it is really annoying and impossible to work with. How to change those fields and fonts into white/bright grey?

While using Windows 7, my screen just turns opaque, and i have to reset my pc.
This happened :
1. Twice in Fifa 10 (exactly at kickoff, green screen)
2. Using uTorrent (White Screen)
3. As soon as i move mouse after boot up ( White)
The main problem is that my monitor goes into power-saving mode upon reset after this screen, and it does not get out of it. I have to wait a few hours everytime this happens to use my pc again. Its not my monitor, cause Ubuntu and Hackintosh work just fine. Today i got a similar black screen with XP. I have also restore factory settings in BIOS. Pls Help.
EDIT : Happened in Hackintosh as well, maybe ill restore BIOS to version that came with my PC.
EDIT : Found out a possible solution thanks to google (Damn! Why does BING even try?), Some RAM settings set to AUTO in BIOS. Will just have to give it the original frequency!
