Customize your Windows 7 Starter

 Windows 7 StarterDo you know there are lots of hidden personalization options in Windows 7 Starter we can use to customize our machines? Actually they are removed by Microsoft by default…Today we will take a look at how to use them to personalize our Windows 7 starter.

Fortunately, in all other Windows 7 editions, you can easily personalize your computer by simply right-clicking on the desktop and selecting Personalize. This will give you a wide range of options to change, including sounds, screensaver, themes, background, mouse pointers, and desktop icons… But this Personalization panel is not available Windows 7 Starter. If you right-click on the desktop, all you will see are options just to change your resolution and add Desktop Gadgets. Here’s how to change your window sounds, screensaver, theme… and more in Windows 7 Starter. All of these options are in the normal Personalization panel in other editions of Windows 7, but here we’ll show you how to find them in Starter.

Sounds

If you want to make your PC sound different than the default settings when you boot a laptop in a public place…Windows 7 provides several very nice sound schemes.

Just type in “change sounds” in your start menu search, and then select “Change system sounds”. In the new screen, you can change or remove any of the sounds or even turn on or off the Windows boot sound. Also you can choose one of the other sound schemes…7 Starter still includes all of the new sound schemes!

Screensaver

Most netbooks will have the screen turn off to conserve power. If you would like your netbook to have a screensaver, Windows 7 Starter does still include all the default Windows 7 screensavers. Simply enter “screensaver” in your start menu search, and choose “Change screen saver”. The screensaver option dialog is opened and you can choose the screensaver and settings you want. Theme

Windows 7 Starter uses the Aero Classic theme by default which is similar to the default Aero Glass theme on other editions of Windows 7, but without the transparency. If you would like the classic Windows look (from Windows 95/98/2000/ME), or need to use a high contrast theme, you can still revert to this. Just enter “theme” in the start menu search, and click the link “Change the color scheme” . The classic theme selector opens and you can choose the theme you want, and click OK. Here’s the Windows Classic theme on Windows 7 Starter. Now you can change your theme options in the Windows Classic theme, including the desktop background color. Just click Advanced in the previous dialog, click on the background color in the picture, and then choose the color you want from the box.

Background Picture

Also Windows 7 Starter doesn’t allow you to directly change the background as well. One of the best ways around this is the Slide Show desktop gadget. Just right-click on your desktop, and click Gadgets to add this. Then double-click on the Slide Show gadget, or click and drag it to your desktop. Actually the gadget is small by default. In order to make it larger, just hover your mouse over the right hand side of the gadget, then click on the middle button with the arrow. Now the gadget will show a 320×240 image. Do you think it looks fairly nice for a background, especially on the standard 1024×600 resolution screens on netbooks?

Desktop Icons

In order to change the icons for common items (like My Computer and the Recycle Bin…), type “icons” in the start menu search and click the link “Show or hide common icons on the desktop”. Here you can show or hide icons, change the icons for these items as well. Choose the item you wish to change, and click Change Icon. You can select from icons included with Windows, or others you may have on your computer. Mouse Pointers

To customize your mouse pointers, type “cursors” in the start menu search, and choose the link “Change how the mouse pointer looks”. The classic mouse properties dialog opens and you can choose mouse pointer schemes and change individual cursors.

Conclusion

In fact, Windows 7 Starter still has a lot of customization options, but they’re not as apparent as they are in other editions of Windows 7. With these tips, you can customize your netbook more than you originally thought possible. What’s more…these all work without installing any 3rd party software! Just enjoy yourself!

Way of Cleaning your Laptop KeyboardWhen you have shelled out all your hard earned money on buying a best laptop, the maintenance of it should also hold top priority to you. You do not want the laptop to get dirty and unable to use after a brief period of time. Once your keyboard gets messy, it is not at all a simple task to replace it with a new one. However, a few things can be done to bring back your keyboard to its initial state. All you need is patience and a good amount of time along with a list of cleaning materials. You will have to follow these steps carefully and not disrupt the components of the laptop once removed.

Before performing this step, make a keyboard map or an easy way would be to take pictures of the keyboard. Once you have these pictures in place, go ahead with the disassemble. You will require a screw driver to remove all the keys and make sure that it is kept in a safe place. You can use a box for this purpose. Also, don’t use excess pressure while removing. If your keyboard has small rubber pads under each key, then you will have to remove this too.

Once all the keys are removed, use cotton swabs to clean to empty board. You can wet the swabs before cleaning. Make sure that you clean every nook and corner of the board especially the space between the keys. It is these spaces where the dust is accumulated more. If the space is very small then you can use a damp toothpick and clean out the dirt.

The size of the keys varies from laptop to laptop whereas some of them even have wires attached to it. Some of it even contains sticky grease on it. The keys should be cleaned safely one by one by using cotton swabs or a liquid based cleaner like naphtha. After removing the dirt from the keys place it all in a bowl and spray it with a cleaning agent like a multipurpose kitchen cleaner. Let it soak for about 5-10minutes before it is ready to rinse it with warm water. After rinsing it completely, spread the keys on kitchen paper towels and leave them to dry completely.

If your keyboard has any rubber detachable bits to it then remove them and place it in a kitchen strainer. Now spray a liquid based cleaning agent till it is completely immersed and let it soak in it for at least 5-10 minutes. You just need to follow the same kind of steps as you did for your keys. Wash them with luke warm water before you place them on the kitchen towel. An extra step to be done for these rubber bits is that you will have to fold the kitchen towel on it and press it so that all the water is absorbed by it.

As you have finished removing the grease from the keys its now time to re-lubricate them. Keep the keys on a thick paper and make it a point to place the keys with its bottom facing that is the alphabet or symbol down and coat it with lubricant very lightly. Also make sure that you have a good and high quality dry film lubricant. Otherwise, it may damage your keys.

After performing these steps, rearrange the keyboard and you are done with cleaning the laptop.
