Windows-based computer users oftenthey are very picky, and over time they no longer like the “native” graphical interface of the system. The start button for Windows 7 is no exception. And you can change its appearance.
What you need to change the "Start" button
First of all, it is worth noting that"Sevens" to do this is not possible. Therefore, the "Start" button for Windows 7, or rather its appearance, is changed exclusively by third-party programs. Next will be considered one of the most interesting and popular utilities called Windows 7 Start Button Changer.
But with her not so simple.When you try to open the system after installation, the system reports that the application should start as an administrator (this is understandable), but if you select the appropriate launch type from the context menu, nothing works. Why? Yes, only because the user, although he seems to be himself the administrator on the local computer terminal, does not have the necessary access rights in the global context (after all, there is also a super-administrator). Thus, initially such rights will have to be obtained.
How to change the start button of Windows 7: preliminary steps
The lack of administrator rights is directly related to the file explorer.exe, which is located in the root directory of Windows, so you need to start with it.
On the file, make a right click and select the lineaccess to properties. On the security tab, highlight the administrator group and click the button to change the settings, located just below the right. In the window below, a list of permissions will appear, where you should select all the available components, and then confirm the changes made.
In the next step, use the button"Advanced" on the same tab, again we select the administrator group and proceed to change the permissions. In the appropriate column, set the “birds” again in front of all the available lines, and then confirm the changes again.
It is necessary to make sure that the user specifies the administrator or the owner of the computer (the login name must be entered in the corresponding line).
Practical application of the program
Now the start button for Windows 7 can bechanged. In practice, this is easy. First, run the installed utility solely on behalf of the admin. After the done actions, everything should work fine.
There are two items in the main window:the first allows you to change the appearance of the button (Select & Change ...), the second is responsible for restoring the original appearance (Restore Original ...). We are interested in the first line. We click on it, and then look for the Sample Orbs catalog (the icons of the Start button of Windows 7 are stored here). Choose what you like and press the open button.
It is important to pay attention to the appearance of the folders.If you need to preview images, in the view menu (a special button at the top), the appropriate type is selected (large icons, huge icons — to whom that is convenient).
In case you need to start buttonfor Windows 7, it has acquired the classic look, provided by the graphic interface of the “seven” itself, in the program we use the second line of restoring the default view. In general, everything is simple.
Conclusion
It remains to add that the above utility wastaken solely as a visual simplest example. Applications for changing buttons and, in general, the entire interface can be found quite a lot. For example, a utility called Windows Blind was once very popular. She was able to fine-tune the system interface very finely, though, when emulating an OS of a higher rank, she devoured too many resources. But with modern processor chips and RAM, this problem has disappeared.
As for the primary actions with settingpermissions, they will have to be executed in any case, otherwise the system simply will not allow the user to make the appropriate changes in appearance. Yes, before performing all the procedures, it does not hurt to create a system restore point (just in case), and then you never know ...
