Skin XP for Windows 7?

One of the main reasons people do not upgrade an OS, it's that it takes a lot of time to learn the same things I did before but now require different mouse clicks or keyboard.  I don't engage in a lengthy treatise on why it's incredibly stupid (change things without reason).

I need to know if there are programs that mimic the skin XP to Win7.

And if its possible somehow bring back classic mode or view in Win7.

And if there is no Explorer window in Win7? (Why in the world would they take that?)  In XP you simply right click on a folder, click Explore and WHAM! -you are in Windows Explorer.  Navigate effortlessly on the left column while seeing the content of the right column (if you use the mode, details, of course).

I think you 3rd third party apps & skins (things like WindowsBlinds for example) to do it for real.

But have a read of this http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-7/make-the-windows-7-taskbar-work-more-like-windows-xp-or-vista/ with the classic "windows" theme, they are close enough to what you want?

Or for the menu - http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/2227/get-the-classic-start-menu-in-windows-7/

NOTE: I have not tried the above, but they found in a quick google search, so I can't vouch for them.

WRT 'Explorer' can't you right-click and 'open' a folder? Explorer is on the menu under the Accessories heading system. Or have I missed something? Just, if you want that all the folders in the left pane, right click on the white area of the left column in Explorer and check 'show all files '.

It will be useful.

    4. on the Services tab, click to select the skin all the Microsoft services check box, and then click Disable all.

    Windows 10 PC.  I tried most of the solutions I found.  Through solutions offerred in HT204275.  Then I uninstalled itunes and its related components and services (software update support for mobile devices, Hello, and 32 and 64 application support).  And folders deleted, etc.  Rebooted, restarted in SafeMode etc etc.  Same mistakes.

    1 error security file C:\... \kdrl\GetLastError:5

    2. failed to start services.

    3. Repeat steps 1.

    I also tried to install the component by component after the opening of itunes6464setup.exe to winrar.

    Basically, it gives me the - error getting file security.  After trying to install apple application support. 32 and 64.

    Go to Mobile Device Support I selected and tried both repair and installation.  Nevertheless he gves me a cannot start service error.  I tried to start it manually, it does not start.  But it says the software good lol (mobiledevicesupport) installed.  Oh is morning then it installs OK, whoopee.  I go to itunes itself 6464.exe.  Will loop to the application supports the error.

    I also tried the solution of adding permissions to a file that I don't remember now.  Also used windows install cleanup utility.

  • Download link for iTunes for Windows 10 broken

    I need to download the latest version of iTunes for Windows 64-bit 10. When I go to download, the "Download" button does not work. If I go over it, there is no hyperlink to the download site. Is there another mirror where I can download it directly?
