Windows Vista Tips And Tricks

Miss The Dull, Old-fashioned Windows Look?

If you  have recently purchased a new computer with Windows Vista Home Premium (or better) installed on it, you have undoubtedly noticed the Windows "Aero Glass" theme that is the default "theme" on every version of Windows Vista except Vista Basic. Honestly, we think Aero Glass was created to make Windows look like a MAC, and some may really like it. But some may prefer the old Windows Classic look. Well, for those of you who are Windows purists (like TC) you'll be glad to know you can make Windows Vista look exactly like Windows 95, 98, ME, and 2000 by doing this:

Click the Windows Logo button (formerly the "Start" button) then click "Control Panel" and then "Themes" Choose any non-Aero theme, like "Windows Classic" and your computer will be dull and ordinary just like TC :).

But wait, there's a benefit to using Windows Classic theme on Windows Vista. It saves resources. All those fancy glass-like toolbars and taskbars and borders, come at a cost. The cost is your system resources. Even if you have resources coming out your ears, do you really want to waste them on fancy toolbars that look cool but don't work any better than the old gray/blue ones in Windows Classic? The choice is yours. Sometimes dull is better. Just ask TC.

ScreenshotA Comment From Judith
I kept reading positive comments about Registry Mechanic in your InfoAve Premium Newsletter so I finally bought it for my year old laptop. That was about six weeks ago, I've had no problems with it and last week I bought another subscription of it for my 3 year old PC. It found/repaired 908 problems. Registry Mechanic is one tool I would recommend for sure. I use IE 7. Judith - happy computer user.

A Comment From Jim R.
"...before I knew about Registry Mechanic, I downloaded a different registry cleaner. In the scan it found almost 1000 errors. When I got Registry Mechanic, it found 600 errors. I have often wondered about the difference. Then I got your wonderful 3rd e-book. You speak often of registry cleaners that cause problems. I believe that I was saved from a problem by going with Registry Mechanic. You two are the greatest! Take Care, Jim R..."
