• Remove the Windows 7 Desktop icon shadows

  How can I remove the shades of the Windows 7 Desktop icon? Whenever I place the cursor on one of the icons that square shadow appears behind her.

  I tried just abut everything to stop these shadows to appear.

  Thank you

  The solution to remove the shadows of the desktop icon is to show the performance Options screen and remove the control of the last listed issue "use Visual styles on windows and buttons" then click on apply and then OK. This will change the global settings for Custom.

  However, there are some side effects of the use of this option that removes the shadows of the icon on the desktop. It changes your taskbar to style XP Taskbar and change also a custom icon, menus, and other advanced to default appearance settings. All the settings you have previously changed must be reaccomplished.

  When you open Internet Explorer, it looks great in color etc that he did with XP which is now easier to read that Win 7, I feel. Each person will have to just play with the advanced appearance settings and select the ones they like best.

  So far, I'm very happy with the settings I have now and also do not have the shadow of the icon on the desktop.

• How to view the Windows 8 store from a Web browser

  I want to be able to view the Apps in the Windows store from a Web browser.  Just as you can access the store of Windows Phone in the Web browser.  When I access the URL http://www.windowsstore.com, I get a page that tell me how to develop an application, not the store itself.

  Hello Kurt Moskal,.

  For now, the only way to view the apps in the App Store goes to the store in Windows 8.
  You can't view via a browser session. This is normal.
