: Hi Marilyn, : Unless you use a third-party program : designed to change the GUI (graphical user interface), it's not going to : happen. : The only thing available in "classic" in Windows 7 is the appearance of : the Desktop. : The plus with Win7 over Win8 is that 7 still has menus in Windows Explorer, : 8 does not. : Windows 7 does not give any option to change the start menu as in Windows XP : and Vista, but there is no need to be afraid of it, : just takes a little getting used to. : I don't find navigating it any faster as others have claimed : I work mainly from the start menu, and can still operate much quicker with : the Windows XP start menu. : HTH, : Rick Justice : : Tomorrow's another day, another way! : and if tomorrow never comes, problem solved! : : ----- Original Message ----- : From: "Marilyn Walker" <mlw1...@sbcglobal.net> : To: <jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com> : Sent: Monday, January 06, 2014 4:09 PM : Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] windows 7 and classic view question? : : : I was hoping Kelsey would tell us about classic view.
