Save the image to your hard drive that he posted, using a graphics program, convert it to the necessary extension for windows backgrounds, which is usually a “*.bmp” depending upon your version of windows.
Move it to the correct folder within windows and change the current desktop image/background to the new image.
Voila!

“Put the Windows 7 Start button where you want it
If that were true, I could make Obama squeal like a pig...

Install Classic Start Menu.
I’ve hated the Windows 7 menu. I got back the classic Windows 95/98/XP Start Menu by installing Classic Start Menu.
Its available on Sourceforge and its free.

I just added a working clock. That's a neat trick. How did you do that?

I know how to do that, thanks. But it would leave me with a clock that, to paraphrase the Mamas and Poppas, always says twelve-thirty.

Just give up. Fugeddaboudit, when it comes to Windows 7. Worst fraud ever perpetrated against the computing public.

Is that really your study/library? If so, I am impressed.
Are you someone from Downton Abbey?

I don’t like this. This is a computer-help thread and you’re getting helpful, positive answers. Are you sure this is FR?
To: US_MilitaryRules
No,guess there is no way.
Darn Microsoft:)

Ive hated the Windows 7 menu. Writing this from Windows 10, Windows Technical Preview, Evaluation Copy, Build 9879.
"Welcome, Client" page
I kind of like it. Real snappy on this old Dell Dimension 4700C slim desktop.
I think 8.1 can upgrade to this. XP needed a full install, but permits saving old files

There’s always a way, but I’m guessing you’d have to go into the code to change the default location of the Start Menu. It doesn’t appear to be something a user can change.
