How to make Windows 7 look like XP

We bought a new laptop for our 73 year old father, who was just getting used to Win XP.  He asked if there is a way to make the interface look and work like XP?  So my question is: is it possible to make the interface look and work like XP?

Brian

If you want the same classic mode (the bars of gray and other tools), this fact exists in Windows 7.  Just right-click on your desktop, choose Customize, then scroll down and click "Windows classic".

If it solves your problem, click on the link "Propose as answer" below and vote as useful by clicking on the green triangle for the lelft. Thank you!

  • How to make a UI look like this image?

    Hello world

    I am a beginner Develop Blackberry, I am from VietNam country.

    I want to design an Application interface user lookl ike this image

    How to do this with Blackberry plugin for Eclipse?

    Please help me? Thanks a lot

    I'm waiting for the answer...

    Welcome to the forums.

    It's a difficult question to answer, because you are a junior developer.  So, there are many things that you must learn to understand the answers you get.  But could someone give you the code to do it and it might work, but if it breaks, then you know how to fix?

    So instead I'll give an overview of the solution and allow you to study and learn so much more as you go.

    First thing, it is to be abele to write a program that displays a screen.  I guess you found samples and therefore know how to do that.

    Then you need to understand the 'dimensions' and the capacity of a screen.  I think this article helps with this:

    http://supportforums.BlackBerry.com/T5/Java-development/MainScreen-explained/Ta-p/606644

    Then you must know how to create 3 columns on your screen.  I think that this article will help you with this:

    http://supportforums.BlackBerry.com/T5/Java-development/create-a-custom-layout-manager-for-a-screen/...

    Then you must know how to create a field that uses the space allocated to it al:

    http://supportforums.BlackBerry.com/T5/Java-development/create-custom-fields/Ta-p/444962

    Finally, you need to know how to make this a button field.  To do this, you must override navigationClick and touchEvent.  Enter in which is probably a little too much right now.

    So many of read you.

    However I really recommend to start by working through the provided tutorials - tutorial type in the search box to find these.  With the help of tutorials, you will get a better understanding of how the BlackBerry "hangs together."

    And finally, I recommend you get a book, such as Bill Foust.

    Good luck and have fun!

  • How to make my picture look like that?

    Ellie-Goulding-Goodness-Gracious-Chainsmokers-Extended-Remix-1200x1200.jpgtumblr_inline_n4o4fo5YY01r6c6wh.jpgellie_goulding_goodness_gracious_video-1.jpg

    I was very inspired by a video clip on Youtube. (Ellie Goulding - Goodness gracious - YouTube) Very nice effects and all so I tried to make one of my photos like the pictures above. I tried Neon Glow filter, but it doesn't really seem like those pictures above.

    How can I give my picture this kind of effect? And what to call this effect? You give me a suggest? Thank you!

    Experiment with change of influence of a layer to your image with the sliders 'blend if' in the layers of mix options. (drag the sliders, alt-click for separate cursors and make transitions smoothly). the green image in your example, could be as simple to add a layer of plain with a gradient from blue to green and to replace the "mixture if: grey" only show the colors of darker shade of the image under.

  • Windows 7 task manager and windows pages look like XP

    I hope I've put this in the right category because I'm not 100% sure what category is this type of problem. Well, let's go.
    A few days ago, I started my computer and instead of start up normally like any other day, it went straight to windows startup repair. That has not really happened before while it was surprising to see. Repair system takes too long to finish so I thought that he was stuck in some kind of loop. Fortunately, it worked eventually. Except, when Windows finally starts upward, the Manager of tasks, pages of windows and stuff like that looked... How can I put this... aged. What I mean is, they look like Windows XP for some reason any. I checked the settings of the Visual effects and all the normal settings have been checked, so I do not know why Windows 7 looks like XP. The first time this happened, I restarted my computer and he returned looking like Windows 7, but the next day I turned on my computer, he is back to looking like XP and now it isn't go back even when I restart the computer. I never really liked the look of XP, so you can imagine that I'm too attached to the idea that my Windows 7 computer is stuck like that. Y at - it a fix for this?

    Thank you.

  • How to make windows require a password during the installation of new programs?

    How to make windows require a password during the installation of new programs?

    Hello

    You will not be able to circumvent the password that appears before the execution of actions (installing a new program) in a non administrator account.  If you are logged on as administrator, and again, you get the command prompt, you can disable UAC (User Account Control) to stop the password dialog window.

    However, as a work around you can right-click on the installation of the program files and select run as administrator. Check if this is useful.

  • How can I make the work/look like a Thunderbird 2 Thunderbird?

    I used Netscape/Mozilla/Thunderbird Mail since the middle / end of the 1990s and was disappointed by the changes after Thunderbird 2, so I went years of Claws Mail, but it is not enough for everything. How can I make Thunderbird current work/look like version 2? In other words, I would turn off the tabs for messages & research, including all traces of what it looks like a label, or space curved GUI / additional shadow separated, so also have only a single search box that will search and display in the current folder box and keep the menus easy to use (with shortcuts that appear when you type) standard for GUI programs While getting rid of the imitation chrome button. I guess that the tabs are okay for things like dealing with Add-ons, but that's all. Maybe there are other things I can think. I know that most/all this can be done in terms of configuration and I think a lot of people would like that there is a full article on it. Virtually everyone, many people that I talk about e-mail also let Thunderbird for all these reasons, of it being too influenced by web browsers, and the IRC channel is virtually dead, so I came here, hoping that this place is not as dead with what happened with the project (announcing that no major update will be When most of the people preferred it maybe before the latest GUI major updates)

    Seriously. You're in the minority, I think.

    No one took the trouble with this stuff since V3 came out. but I wrote a blog postabout this 5 years ago and Mozillazine did a knowledge article database that went further than my blog post. But I wanted to just my menu bar headings message and back small Mozillazine entered CSS change and I think some that can be made obsolete by Australis was two years ago. But if you want to go.

  • I'm trying to connect my xbox live to my files. How to make Windows Media Center?

    I am trying to connect my files from my account to xbox live.  I was trying to figure out how, and he said that I needed Windows Media Center.  It doesn't even look like my Windows XP offers.  I can't find anyway.  Can I add my system?  Is that going to even to allow me to access my files?  Any help would be appreciated.
    LG

    Hope this helps ;) I know that it is a complicated process and I understand the House will network computers running the Media Center. If you click on the following link, you should be able to determine if you have any problems of compatibility http://support.xbox.com/en-us/pages/xbox-360/troubleshoot/media-center-faq.aspx

    I strongly recommend to contact Xbox customer service because they have a specialized department set up just to manage customers to help with the implementation and use of the Media Center/Media Extender services available.

    However, here is an overview of some of the basics to have this work:

    Some with Media Center PC/Windows versions are:

    • Windows 7 Home Premium or full, professional edition
    • Windows Vista Ultimate or Home Premium
    • Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005

    Once the media center is installed on the pc, you must configure the xbox as a Media Extender and authorizes.

    Finally, you need to add a network share connection between your console and your pc. This process can be a little intimidating, once again, I recommend that you contact customer service with the help of an expert in the Media Center .
