Just go exploring... Set a restore point and then right click on an empty spot on your desktop and then select Personalize. Explore. Click on an option and play around with all the changes that are available, then click a different option and do the same thing. Be sure to also look at "Advanced" settings where available. Some options will allow you to see the changes without exiting the personalize applet, some will require an exit in order to see. Since you set a restore point you don't have to worry about how to undo any changes you made. Note: On the first Personalize screen that opens, in the lower left corner you will find a link to "Ease of Access Center". There you will find lots of settings, many of which are also useful for those that do not have specific access needs. -----Original Message----- From: pctechtalk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:pctechtalk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of cristy Sent: Saturday, April 13, 2013 4:33 PM To: pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Re: personalization windows 7, desktop question Hi Don, I thought about that.
