Hi Dooie, Do you remember what theme you were using? I hope so because, I don't know which theme is the default! The steps are below to find a theme & select.
1. While on the desktop press, control + spacebar, to make sure that nothing is selected. 2. Open the context menu with the applications key or, shift + F10, arrow down to Personalize & press enter. 3. You will now be in the Themes Gallery. here the different themes are in columns & rows so, you'll have to navigate using your arrow keys & when you find the theme you want , press enter & give your system some time to make the changes. Also, changing themes will probably change your Sound Schemes as well. So, you might have to alter your sound schemes to get the sounds you want. Take care.

To check & see if you're using the classic desktop theme do the following: 1. While on the desktop press the F5 key to make sure that nothing is selected. 2. Press the applications key, arrow down to Personalize & press enter. Listen to Jaws & it will report which theme is running. If it's not Windows Classic then continue with the rest of the steps. 3. You will now be in the Themes Gallery. here the different themes are in columns. To find the Windows Classic Theme, arrow down to Windows7 Basic, & right arrow 1 time to Windows Classic & press enter. Wait a little while for the system to make the changes. You might hear a sound when it's done. Also, changing themes will probably change your Sound Schemes as well. So, you might have to alter your sound schemes to get the sounds you want. Take care.

This is even after I've already opened something and closed it, it does not go back to desktop. This does not occur on the laptop, so wondering why it is this way on a desktop? Both are running windows 7, if there's something I can do, please advise.
