There is? Great! I've heard good things about Win7, this news makes
it even better.

One of the first things I do when I get a new Windoze computer is
goto MyComputer->Properties->Advanced->Performance and turn off the
"Use Visual Styles" checkbox. That's the one that makes your
computer look like Fisher Price designed the desktop.

Actually, I turn off all the checkboxes there except "Show window
content while dragging" and "Smooth edges of screen fonts" and "Use
drop shadows..."

HTH :-)

Same here, my screens are as close to Win 98 as I can get them. Fisher
Price colors don't dwell in my computer.

If you don't want to be thought to be a sock puppet of the person who
has a netbook then don't respond to a post about the netbook as if
someone had asserted that you had one.
