Hi Mike,
I'm in a Dilemma over this Classic View situation, on my Del
tower, with Win7; as 5 weeks ago, my PC had a virus, so the VA,
contracted Tech Assist company had my tower in for that
repair/correction, and at the same time, I asked that they
activate the Classic View function; consequently, I have
absolutely No prior idea what Theme my Del was previously set to.
Therefore, I shall have to give the Tech Rep a call, and ask her
to do a remote reset, should she remember what selection it was
on, since she activated Classic View as per my request. I do not
want to complicate matters, by making a random choice of what
this Del tower was set on, before it was put on Classic View.
Thanks for your straight forward honesty and concern about
making an accurate reset, and that is greatly appreciated, as I
may not had thought about that when trying to decide on which
selection to reset with. I would strongly recommend that people
are fore warned about remembering what the original setting was
prior to changing to Classic View, in the event they are not
content with it.
Sincere Respect of your tech guidance,
Dooie

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.
Mike

Hi Trish,
I always have to alt + tab back to the desktop after closing
programs even
though my desktop theme is set on Windows Classic.
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.
Mike

I need to know why on my desktop, when I alt tab around, I do not
get
desktop?
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.
Thanks,
Trish
