You will need to have the appropriate programs installed. This will depend on which library you downloaded from. If it was the DesktopX library, then you will need at least the DesktopX program installed. You can go to the "Software" tab at the top of the page, which will provide links to the information/download pages for the various programs. If you want to leave a link to the desktop you are referring to (simply go to that desktop and click the "More Details"

For backgrounds to take effect, the background image must be in the skin folder when using WB 4.5. If the author did not include any background image, there will be none applied. For icons, you must have IconPackager installed, although I have yet to see these apply globally via WB. I would suggest using IconPackager to change system icons (if this is what you are referring to). Note - If you are unfamiliar with IconPackager, it can change many common system icons and any f

OH and one more thing dont take bill gates as a giving charity god I don't think he is a god (far from it). My point was that he is leaving the daily running of MS to others now, and is pursuing a path that will help others and leave a statement about the things he cares about in the end. IMO - life is a culmination of all that one d

my computer started smelling like something was burning I would say something may have been toasted here. If you have the drives on one adapter (e.g., Primary adapter [IDE 0]), try connecting to the secondary adapter and booting. Before booting, I would try pulling all but one stick of RAM and checking all connections for

vista will still be a nice winxp. Unfortunately, this is not correct. The graphics driving code is completely different. This is just one of the differences. Personally, I do not consider a computer anything more than a tool, so I have no interest in degrading others for their efforts (whether it be a person or a company).

I'll comment a bit. I would agree to some extent that the track record has shown some projects to be long in the showing after the initial notification. I tend to think of the announcements as a "FYI", or "For Your Information" within a community instead of a concrete promise. I know that Stardock wants to complete the projects, but there are fewer staff members available than the announcements might lead the public to believe. There are always the unforeseen pro

The thing is that I don't have a downloaded file to save on a CD, just in case You can make an "Archive" of IconPackager. This will allow you to install that version of IconPackager in the future using Stardock Central. I wrote a mini tutorial on the archiving procedure in Stardock Central which you can read here http://corkyo.wincus

Thanks, ID. Beta 3 is much faster, especially the phishing filter function. It does have some issues with scripting some sites (parts of Adobe for one), but this may be due to the sites not meeting the IE7 requirements (to be expected with beta releases and timing). The final release should be a huge improvement over IE6, and tabbed browsing is always a good thing.

1 - Go to "Folder Options > Offline Files tab" and deselect "Enable Offline files" option > click "Apply" if available. 2 - Go to "Control Panel > User Accounts > Change the way users log on or off" and select the "Use the Welcome screen" (this should also automatically select "Use fast user switching") > click "Apply Options" button. As long as you do not have a password set, and no other accounts set-up, Windows will boot directly to the desktop. <img src="http://images.s

Your question is pretty open. If you are referring to the "My Computer" icon itself, you would use the following: "Right-click an empty spot on the desktop > select Properties > click the Desktop tab > click the "Customize Desktop" button > select (highlight) the My Computer icon > click the "Change Icon..." button > navigate to the icon you want > click OK > click Apply" If you are referring to all computer icons on your system, you can use the "Context Menu > P

Wow none of you guys addressed the original question at all I am not sure why you say that, as I indicated a couple of options to try to address the issue (which I ran into during beta testing). The original poster did not respond in any way (post is now 3 months old), so it is not clear whether the problem was fixed or not.

how do i do that? 1 - If you have a backup image, simply overwrite the current "Vista" operating system with the backup (this is done with backup software such as Ghost, TrueImage, etc.) Note - if you did not make a backup image of the XP installation, then you can't use this option. 2 - Here are some instructions I had i
