Reply to RIP W7 in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

I wouldn't upgrade.I would do a fresh install however Telemetry updates can be uninstalled if your afraid of spying on win 10 it can be done with win 7 as well.Websites show which updates to remove & may provide a script to automate. Which one of them does for win 7 As for not wanting to install win 10 coz of "hearing " bad things. Well there's always dual boot until your fears are gone. That & installing classic shell. Creating backup images of win 7 before hand

Revo uninstaller either as a .exe or to avoid installing yet more software there's a portable version. It can be used to install software as well & it will track what goes where. It will find all entries whether it tracks or not inc .dll's, it works surprisingly well edit: there is a ltd function free portable version.

Reply to Don't install or upgrade to CCleaner 5.45 in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

They're not mentioning it has a separate system optimizer. However i tried it out & saw no difference to speed of boot before optimization & after.The times were the same.However this is a fresh install of win 7 with not much installed at the mo. As for the cleaning.Wise is only a registry cleaner & it doesn't appear to do the clean option cc does.Also i did mention earlier to use ccenhancer as it adds far more functions to ccleaner & adds other options that wise uses

Downgrade it to whatever version (afterdawn.com or filehippo should have older versions) then install ccenhancer or do what neophil said or just stay of the web :p

Was pissing around with colour temps on my tv yesterday to see if picture improved from the normal setting,it didn't.This morning i thought it may help reduce the glare you mention in my win 7 as the setting i had was very bright.I dropped it from the mode it was in to standard,it sorta worked.Its like looking at the monitor screen through a very very faint grayish filter.It'll be noticeable till i get used to it,however it has had the desired effect sort of.I may at a later stage use custom

Reply to Theme manager help needed in Object Desktop WinCustomize Forums

Most probably be cheaper to get object desktop as you'll more than likely need icon packager & perhaps theme manager.On top of that you'll need object dock (there is a basic free version as well as cursorfx for custom cursors).It depends how far you want to go & what packages are available to get the desired look.I'd start looking at any themes if there's any before outlaying money,just in case there's no look that you like
