IN WINDOWS 7 HP, HOW CAN I GET RID OF THE CLASSIC SKIN?

Had a bit of a hiccup and lost my favorite settings now am stuck with the Classic skin... tried hsve appearance & personalization... have a few themes registered here but I'm stuck... for now I'm stuck with windows XP opening the files and also my programs list is white... so too my keyboard on the screen... etc... Thank you...

Couple of things to try:

1 Type "Aero" (without the quotes) and click Run - 'find and fix problems with transparency and other Visual effects

2 type "services" (without the quotes) and click on "services" in the list of results. Make sure that "Thèmes" are listed as automatic and started. You will need to be at the level of the admin to change it, then right click on services in the results and click on run as administrator if you need to start.

EDIT - also check this:

3 (mode icon display no categories) . Government, click . In the [Advanced] tab, under 'performance', click on . Make sure "Use Visual Styles on Windows and buttons" is checked. Apparently, some say it might stop other than in some cases classic themes.

  • How can I get rid of the icon "junk" on a message when it was put there by mistake?

    I converted a few perfectly legitimate "junk" in error messages, click the "junk" that is in the same row of answer-transmit-Archives-Junk-delete below of the top window in which information on each e-mail is displayed line by line in any other file (Inbox, drafts, sent, etc.) has been selected.

    It's easy, of course, to move these back to my Inbox, which is where I wanted them, but now they have bright orange "junk" icons displayed to the left of the Date. That in itself bothers me not specifically, but I'm bothered by the action of these icons should represent. namely, that I have "educated" Thunderbird to recognize emails from these sources as junk and start to divert the messages from these sources in the junk e-mail folder. I certainly don't want that to happen, but the undesirable feature seems otherwise good, so I don't want to turn it off, either. How can I get rid of the unnecessary icons on emails marked as spam accidentally? And reverse the "undesirable character" of a message by surgery will remove the Thunderbird learning process?

    Thank you for helping.

    There are several ways. The two easiest are click on the Junk icon to turn off or click with the right button on the message and select Mart As - Not Junk.

  • How can I get rid of the webshoppy pop ups

    How can I get rid of the pop up webshoppy?

    You may have installed ad-injecting malicious software ("adware").

    Do not use any type of product, "anti-virus" or "anti-malware" on a Mac. It is never necessary for her, and relying on it for protection makes you more vulnerable to attacks, not less.

    Save all data first.

    Some of the most common types of adware can be removed by following the instructions from Apple. But before you follow these instructions, you can try an automatic removal.

    If you are not already running the latest version of Mac OS X ("El Capitan"), update or upgrade in the App Store you could adware to automatically remove. If you are already using the latest version of El Capitan, you can still download the current update of the Apple Support downloads page and run it. Still, some types of malware will be deleted, not all. There is no such thing as the automatic removal of all possible malware, either by OS X third party software. That's why you can't rely on software to protect you.

    If the malware is deleted in your case, you will still need to make changes to the way you use your computer to protect you from new attacks. Ask if you need advice.

    If the malware is not automatically deleted, and you cannot remove yourself by following the instructions from Apple, see below.

    This simple procedure to detect any type of adware that I know. Disabling is a procedure distinct and better still.

    Some legitimate software is funded by advertising and may display advertisements in its own windows or in a web browser while it is running. It's not malware and it may not appear. In addition, some Web sites display advertising intrusive popup that can be confused with adware.

    If none of your web browsers work well enough to carry out these instructions, restart the computer in safe mode. Allows to temporarily disable the malware.

    Step 1

    Please triple - click on the line below on this page to select it, and then copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination:

    ~/Library/LaunchAgents

    In the Finder, select

    Go ▹ go to the folder...

    from the menu bar and paste it into the box that opens by pressing command + v press return. Open a folder named "LaunchAgents", or you will get a notice stating that the file cannot be found. If the file is not found, proceed to the next step.

    If the folder opens, press the combination of keys command-2 to select the display of the list, if it is not already selected. Please don't skip this step.

    There should be a column in the update Finder window. Click this title two times to sort the content by date with the most recent at the top. If necessary, enlarge the window so that all the content show.

    Follow the instructions in this support article under the heading "take a screenshot of a window." An image file with a name starting in 'Screenshot' should be saved to the desktop. Open the capture screen and make sure it is readable. If this isn't the case, capture a small part of the screen indicating that what needs to be shown.

    Start a reply to this message. Drag the image file in the editing window downloading. Alternatively, you can include text in the response.

    Leave the case open for now.

    Step 2

    Do as in step 1 with this line:

    /Library/LaunchAgents

    The record which can open up will have the same name but is not the same as in step 1. In this step, the folder does not exist.

    Step 3

    Repeat with this line:

    /Library/LaunchDaemons

    This time the file will be called "LaunchDaemons."

    Step 4

    Open Safari preferences window and select the tab 'Extensions'. If the extensions are listed, post a screenshot. If there are no extensions, or if you cannot launch Safari, skip this step.

    Step 5

    If you use Firefox or Chrome browser, open the list of extensions and do as in step 4.
