How can I get rid of windows 7 without deleting it and istalling a different operating system?

How can I get rid of windows 7 without deleting it and istalling a different operating system?  I remember on xp, I couldn't allow him to function as a windows 95 or 98, if I wanted to.  I just want my computer works like windows xp.

So can YER a little confused you explain a little better please.

OR

do you mean get W7 to resemble the way XP worked?

In this case (start base fast and simple):

  • try to set a theme for a basic/classic theme - more like 98 then XP well.
  • Download (AV Control) and then use "classic shell" - menu style old XP.
  • Ditto for "explore classic" mentioned on this site.
  • Set the control panel to use the icons (small or large) as opposed to categories.

But its still W7 in disguise.

Is that the sort of thing you mean?

If so, personally, I think its better to stick with W7 and get used to. I bet you will love windows 8 :)

  • How can I get rid of Windows Mail?

    I have Windows Vista and I have this stupid Windows mail that comes with it. I never use this program and I was wondering if there is anyway to get rid of it. I also went to remove its files, but he says that the files were nesesary to running some programs, so I decided to not to remove. So, is it a safe way to get rid of Windows mail without messing something up? Thank you for your time and support, of lnachtigal

    You cannot get rid of Windows Mail because it's part of your Vista operating system. If you use it, there should not be a problem, but you can disable it if you wish.

  • How can I get rid of windows 8 "Desktop"?

    How can I get rid of the Office Windows 8 completely that everything opens, runs, and closes directly from, in and return to the Start page/Metro interface?  The start page of Windows 8 is really not different from your Windows 7 Desktop crowded with icons for the applications and files - but much more elegant and attractive.  Why is this another office in Windows 8 necessary at all?  This return to an environment like when you open certain apps, and then to have to go back between the office and the beginning of page environments is a compromise unnecessary and awkward.

    Hello
     
     
    Thanks for choosing Windows 8. I've surely you will help find a solution on the issue.
     
     
     
    Unfortunately, it is not possible to eliminate the office as it is Windows 8 operating system design.
     
     
     
    Hope this information helps. Please feel free to post more questions in the community forums of Microsoft.

  • How can I get rid of Windows Media Player Media Guide?

    When you use Windows Media Player I clicked on Windows Media Player Media Guide believing he'd help me using Media Player. Instead it turns out be a forum of advertiswing for online retailers.  I can't get rid of the thw Media Guide, and he takes the place of Windows Media Player, so I can't use it.  Help!.

    Hello

     
    It has no customizable option in Windows Media Player to remove the media guide and the online store in Windows Media player 11. This is normal and there is no way, you can remove or disable it.
     
    However, you can publish your proposal or information on the case you want to see it implemented in the future.

  • How can I get rid of Windows 7 and go back to XP - win7 is undesirable software incompetent

    I've been using win7 for several months. This software is absolutely hostile user. It was a lousey experience. On the first day, the transfer of file file system messed up all my file from my old machine systems. I can't find things on the control panel - device driver - search functions file - everything which is rather well established since win 3.1 looks now like a block of lead tied to my ankles. Designed, documented in a suitable way for geeks only, and not the average user of semiskilled... I don't have the patience for this nonsense.

    "Designed, documented in a suitable way for geeks only and not the average user semi-skilled."

    It's funny you should say that. Monopoly$ often tried in fact their toughest excessive Windows
    for the 'average' user, but somehow they have actually managed to make it more complicated.
    There is always and will always be a couple of things that I hate about Win7, my pet hate is not
    able to turn off the reorganization in the records. Although there is a solution for this, it can be a little awkward
    to use as you can hide folders/files if you accidentally drop it another folder/file on top of it.

    In addition to the suggestions of Cameron - for that old time feeling you can also use
    Windows Classic view (simple R/click on the desktop and select "Personalize" from the context menu).
    Still, I prefer this and do not use the libraries either.

    A good feature is that you can "pin" folders to the icon in Windows Explorer in the taskbar,
    so I pinned my account username as well as my other most often used records here.
    To do this, you just use the option ' send to ' and send a shortcut to the records in question to
    the desktop computer. Then, just drag and drop this icon WE shortcut.
    Right-click for a list. You can make only a limited number of shortcuts here though.
    -For .exe shortcuts, you must use the toolbar of office available on the right end of the taskbar.

    to your personal taste. Here are a few links to get you started-

    BTW - Win7 is an OS better than XP. Better management of memory, more stable, and if well managed facility will work for years. My Win7 is three years old and was even "imaged" from another machine with a completely different hardware. Try that on XP.
    -8 Win is supposed to be a very good OS.
    While Win8 also attracts a lot of hate from PC users due to its user interface. MS apparently decided that if Win8 will not be the new Dodo Vista they will have to bend to the pressure of the user and release a new version - 8.1 with a friendly user interface more PC.  Intel has even designed their new processor around 8.1 to win.

  • How can I get rid of windows does not properly close the message?

    Hello

    I am running a windows XP in my car, and every time that I turned off my computer of the car stops at the same time too.  This is due to my son and I will change it soon.  But in time average is there a way to make windows automatically choose "start windows normally"?  ( http://help.artaro.eu/images/winvista/vistastarterror01.jpg )

    Thank you

    It sounds like XP behave correctly and not making not a normal shutdown, you will see this message a lot.

    Maybe when you turn off your car, there is a transition of power that poses a problem for your computer...  I think that could also threaten or damage your hardware if it continued to occur.

    Until you get your fixed wiring, you can shut down the computer first, then turn off the car, or perhaps you could - unplug the computer from the car, turning off the car, shut down the computer.

    Until you get your fixed wiring, don' turn off the car while XP is running.

    If this does not solve the problem, you have adware installed one of the recommendations favorite by volunteers on these forums is to use malwarebytes for mac that isn't anti-malware, anti-virus. He simply deletes malware is known and does not remain resident to protect you from getting infections, only clean it if it is found.

    Once again, it is simply a method, it is preferred by most of us, but far from the only method, and nothing is 100% foolproof.

  • How can I get rid of the annoying new tab page and do it just show me a blank page?

    I found a nearly identical to this question thread, but on my firefox, I don't have this icon in the upper right corner that allows me to turn it off. I tried to move the thing About: config, but that did not work because it is still showing me this annoying "new tab page" when I open a new tab. I want to see is a blank page, no search bar, no popular site suggested, nothing. How can I make it back to that? It serves to do but quite recently during an update his collage began this another stupid page on-site and is getting pretty annoying.

    It works in safe mode! The new tab page is just empty, as I want... I'll check the Add-ons
