I have actually ‘hidden’ the bing bar update several times only to find in un-hidden when the next update comes along. I always check the optional updates before allowing the update to procede :o:

I installed the Developer’s Preview of Windows 8, and Woody is correct…the interface is horrible for mouse & keyboard folks. The Developer’s Preview had a way of bypassing the “Metro” interface and reverting to an interface that carried a striking resemblance to Windows 7. I haven’t heard anyone mention this in regards to the Consumer Preview. I hope it’s still there as there are some interesting new features to ‘8’

I haven’t figured out how to reply to each of you individually so this will have to cover both of you:

1) My error, they aren’t black but transparent. Control PanelAll Control Panel ItemsPersonalizationWindow Color and AppearanceEnable Transparency has absolutely no effect.

2) Allow themes to change desktop icons doesn’t seem to be on any of the Personalize pages

Thx for the effort

Thanks to everybody. I got so frustrated that I reinstalled Windows 7

Thx for the reply. The tip worked. However everything on the page got bigger, not the result needed.
