Apps to get me started with Windows 7


Recommended Posts

It's never happened to me with XP or Vista, but im stumped with windows 7. i've installed it but it's like i dont know what to do with it.

what im looking for is

- a patch to get rid of the watermark

- a uxtheme patch

- various other tweaks like adding the "Take Ownership" option to the context menu.

where can i find such patches/tweaks that will work with build 7201?

Its not that we don't want to help, It's nice to see someone has at least looked themselves.

uxtheme patch - why?

to use different themes

Google "Windows 7 rc watermark" (I like to keep my searches since that gives me better results) second link came up with: http://digiex.net/guides-tutorials/1323-ho...ld-7100-rc.html

Google "windows 7 Take Ownership" brought up this second link: http://www.askvg.com/add-take-ownership-op...-windows-vista/

Uxtheme I'm not going to bother looking for since I find it pointless at this stage with the different builds being released.

There are no themes yet, though a scant few have been made for various Windows 7 build numbers, but that's about it.

C.R.E.A.M,

Microsoft does have an official Windows 7 RC Support Forum located here http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums...tegory/w7itpro/ . It is supported by product specialists as well as engineers and support teams. You may want to post your question there as well for additional support.

Also, another great resource is Microsoft Springboard.

doesn't removing the watermarks creates problems

Removed the build number watermark from the desktop of 7100 ran at least a month without issue, and have removed it from 7201 and now a week or two into using it and have run into no issues with the system after removing it.
