UltimateSilence Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 (edited) How do I customize the Control Panel? Or is this an error? (I do apologize for the 'stupid' question, but I'm still a little new with 7). It currently looks like this...The "bar" on the left-hand side is missing... It was so beautiful in contrast to Vista's.

cannie Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 AFAIK the Control Panel screen doesn't allow any easy changes.HTH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

myselfidem Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 (edited) You can add this registry key to always show menus:First option:Menus.regWindows Registry Editor Version 5.00[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced]"AlwaysShowMenus"=dword:000000012nd option:Or browse to: Control Panel | Appearance and personalization | Folder Options | Display . And select : Always show menus*Edit: But about the left pane color (image) like Vista...It's not the same on Windows 7!*Edit 2: You can change the left pane image inside: %windir%\System32\shell32.dll -> Bitmap -> 632 & 633http://www.msfn.org/...d-on-windows-7/ Edited December 25, 2011 by myselfidem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
