Desktop Themes on Windows 7 Starter Edition

Can somebody tell me where i can select or change desktop themes for windows 7 starter edition. Thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Right click on your Wallpaper and go to Personalize. It's pretty straightforward from there.
If you like my post, or solution to your issue/question, go ahead and click on the little star by my name and/or accept the post as the Solution. It makes me happy.

Desktop Policies for Windows Home Edition

Can policies be applied to Windows Home Edition?

It will most likely work, but "Home Edition" is not supported.

Is there a fix for layers not displaying in window when desktop theme changes from default?

Every time I change my desktop theme from windows default I can't see the layers in the Adobe window. Can anyone tell me where in options/preferences is the fix for this?

Hi Kelly, what happened is that I changed by Win7 desktop theme to a Holiday based theme and when working in Adobe Photoshop part of CS6 collection I start a new project and the layers work panel shows me there is a back ground layer there but in the Adobe work space window the layer doesn’t display. I tried change layer background colors but that didn’t work. If I change the Wind 7 desktop theme back to default it works as expected. Hope this helps. J

Photoshop album starter edition 3.2

Can anyone help me retreive my pictures
from photoshop album starter edition
3.2 I have picutres on there of people who are no longer here

Whether you use Starter Edition or not, your photos remain wherever you intially put them, on your hard drive. To get to them without using Starter Edition, you can navigate your file system using Windows Explorer. They are typically in your My Documents>My Pictures folder. Here is a handy How-To that you could refer to to find photos on your system: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/setup/maintain/filemgmt.mspx#3
Hope that helps.

Can not unlock photoshop starter edition 3.0 as it has been discontinued

Hi there,
I have had photoshop starter edition 3.0 on my computer and I have downloaded all my pictures to save them. However, my computer had crashed and I now, can not retreive them because photoshop starter edition is asking for an unlock code which I do not have. However, I can see the photos on the programme but can not access them. Please can you help??

Same happened to me a few days ago. Uploaded all of my son's 3rd birthday photos. Then I was prompted to register. When I registered I was told to get the unlock code in the e-mail they sent. The e-mail only said "Sorry! Photoshop Starter is discontinued. Suggested I buy their software for $70.00. Will buying the software allow me to retrieve my photos? Is that my only option? I am awaiting an answer with you.

How do i transfer my pics from starter edition to revel? i have lost my unlock code.

i have lots of pics on the older version of photoshop starter edition 3.2 on my old computer and have lost my unlock code years ago. how do i get them to transfer to revel i would hate to loose all of them! kirbybrowne

Adobe Starter edition was discontinued several years ago, but his link might help you get your files:

DESKTOP USERS NEED ABILITY TO EDIT START MENU

One cannot currently edit the Windows 10 Tech Preview Start Menu, in the Windows 7 and earlier manner. Desktop users need this ability back, pronto.
For example, one cannot right-click an empty folder in the Start Menu and choose to delete it. To delete an empty folder from the start menu, one must navigate to C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs,
then delete the offending folder or file, then LOGOUT and log back in for the changes to take effect.
We ALSO need the ability to organize the "metro-style" apps into a folder, sort them, drag-and-drop them, etc., etc., just like any other program. Currently, on this PC I have over 70 "metro-style" apps installed. In the "All
Apps" view of the Start Menu, I now have to scroll past 70 items just to get to the "regular" programs installed on the PC. Not good. Not good at all.
I hope the development team has this on their plate or, if not, is listening. This one is very important to desktop users!!

I agree whole heartedly with Furry Panther poster but think the problem is more basic than that. To address the concerns of LuisHMex, this variation on the start menu issue is very much an IT consern. I've already documented this issue here Remote
Install Customize Start Menu but was asked to go to TechNet because the other site was too consumer oriented.
This one issue more than any other has stopped us from deploying Windows 8 on our 14,000 computers and it seems to be continuing on to 10. I have a software library of 200 titles that have to be installed remotely after imaging. There seems
to be no way to publish these applications to the start menu via script and it is not feasible to have group policies for every subset of software. Not only do they need to show up, but show up before the Metro style apps. We'd get non stop calls
to the help desk if users had to scroll right to find an app they are looking for. I'd love to have a start screen category called "desktop apps" where I could publish all the titles installed post imaging.
Going beyond that, has anyone ever installed Smart Notebook? It installs 15 icons of different utilities. I was hoping that the start screen would support folders like an Android or iPhone does. While the start screen is friendly with one
button access, it is difficult to find the tile you want due to the sheer number of tiles available. With this new hybrid start menu, perhaps all the desktop apps could go back to the Win7 style menu with folders and leave the Metro one for the start
screen style part. It just needs a way to manage that separation.

Why does Digital Edition not work in desktop mode for WIndows 8?

I have installed the most recent version of JAVA and then downloaded and installed Digital Editions. I can open Digital Editions in desktop mode but when I select a book I cannot turn the page or move to a new page by any means. The only thing that seems to work is to select a new page and then toggle between full screen and partial.

I don't think ADE uses Java at all.
I run it in desktop mode in WIndows 8 and it reads books and turns pages fine: either using the left-right arrow keys,
or clicking on the forward/back buttons each side of the scrollbar at the bottom of the page.
There are lots of bugs in ADE2.0, and even though that isn't a bug for me it may be for you.
Try replacing ADE2.0 with the older but more reliable v1.7.2.
(You can have them both installed at once if you like.)
Version 1.7.2, it is a little difficult to find, available on Adobe site for Windows and for Mac.

Moving from Starter Edition 3.2 to Elements 6 on new Windows 7 computer

I had been using Adobe Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3.2 on a Windows XP computer. I recently got a new Windows 7 computer and I just used the Windows 7 Easy Transfer feature to move my images and other files from the Windows XP computer to my new Windows 7 computer, on which I have also just installed Elements 7.
How do I import the catalog information (tags, etc.) from SE 3.2 to Elements 6? It doesn't look like the Easy Transfer feature copied over any of the catalog files from my old computer, but I suppose I could manually copy them over if I knew which files to copy. Another factor is that the path for the pictures has changed, since on my old Windows XP computer, it was in a D:\Pictures directory, and on the new computer it's in the Public Pictures directory on the C:\ drive (I don't have a D:\ drive on my new Windows 7 computer).
Would appreciate any suggestions since for now I'm holding off on adding any new picture to my new PC until I know what to do about the old ones. Thanks in advance!

You can install PSE on the XP machine.Convert the catalog on of starter edition to PSE.Take the backup of the catalog on XP machine and then restore it on the windows 7 machine. This way you will have all the data of the catalog on your XP machine.

Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3.0 Photo's Locked in and Can't Get Them Help.

I have Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3.0 and I never used it/registered it until today when I wanted to take all my photos and put them to disk and have them Printed off. I can't do this anymore as their are no codes available and I've done all I can. Please can anyone help I have over 500 photo's locked inside a bloody product I can't even acess. is their anyway of getting the photo's off the product and onto disk.
Please any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Arthur.

I had a look in the starter forum.
The answer is, if you can't get your unlock code from support, don't worry; your photos are not locked into Starter Edition.
If you use Windows Explorer, you could go into My Documents > My Pictures, and look around, perhaps in an Adobe folder for your photos.

[Forum FAQ] Go to Start Screen/Desktop when closing Windows Store App

After install Windows 8.1 Update 1, you will notice these things set by default even on touchscreen laptops and desktops:
Windows 8.1 now boots directly to the desktop.
Closing Windows Store Apps and go to desktop instead of Start Screen.
Besides option “When I sign in or close all apps on a screen, go to the desktop instead of Start” since Windows 8, another new option in Taskbar Properties “Show Windows Store app on taskbar” is used to control closing app behavior.
Features of "Show Windows Store app on taskbar"
When the setting is checked, all of the Windows Store apps that are currently running will display on taskbar. You can easily switch between Windows Store apps and your desktop and its applications through the taskbar. For mouse users,
you can also access the taskbar within a Windows Store app. Just move the mouse cursor to the button of the screen, the taskbar pops up.
When the setting is unchecked,
Windows Store apps have no minimize button, only Close button
Windows Store apps that are open are not visible on Taskbar
Windows Store apps can still be pinned to the taskbar
How do these two options work for closing app behavior?
Modern app and Taskbar setting
OFF
ON
Boot to desktop setting
OFF
Close goes to Start
Close reveals the app that was previously used, and eventually dead ends at the Desktop
ON
Close goes to desktop
Close reveals the app that was previously used, and eventually dead ends at the Desktop
Know why “When I sign in or close all apps on a screen, go to the desktop instead of Start” does not work when “Show Windows Store app on taskbar” is checked on
As MironV mentioned in the
thread, Windows 8.1 Update is designed to introduce a number of changes for mouse and keyboard users that would help them use and switch between Windows Store apps alongside their familiar desktop applications. A lot of these changes only made sense when
combined together, so they are toggled by one setting, which is “Show Windows Store apps on the taskbar.” This is usually enabled together with the first setting as a complimentary set of improvements for desktop users. When the setting is enabled, Windows
Store apps are intended to feel more like regular maximized applications living on the desktop, though they are full screen only. For example, when you launch apps from Start, they appear on the taskbar until they are closed. You can also minimize them or
switch between them by invoking the taskbar.
Please understand that unchecking the “When I sign in or close all apps on a screen, go to the desktop instead of Start" setting has no effect on close and minimize behavior when the “Show Windows Store apps on the taskbar” setting is checked, since
they are controlling two independent things. If you tend to use only one Windows Store app at a given time, it may seem like we’re not respecting the setting by going to the desktop.
Please click to vote if the post helps you. This can be beneficial to other community members reading the thread.

I don't know if I'm the only one, but on my desktop (using mouse and keyboard only) I like to have my Start screen as my main screen. To ensure this I made sure to uncheck the "When I sign in or close all apps on a screen, go to the desktop" box and
check the "Show Start on the display I'm using when I press the Windows Logo key" box. I also really like having the task bar appear at the bottom even when I'm using a modern app. Based on the settings I've chosen (i.e., boxes I've checked or not checked),
I would expect to be taken back to the start screen and not the desktop whenever I close an app. From what I've read from your response and from others in this thread, in order to accomplish this function (i.e., closing an app and going directly to the
start screen) I need to uncheck the "Show Windows Store apps on the taskbar" setting. By doing this I get the functionality I was looking for when the apps are closed and I get sent to the start screen. However, I am now not able to see the taskbar
when I'm in a modern app or when I'm on the start screen. This seems counterintuitive/confusing as many have mentioned. Not to mention it creates an additional step for users to get back to the Start screen.
All I want to do is (1) use my start screen as my main screen, (2) see the taskbar when running whatever app I'm using (e.g., modern), and (3) go back to my start screen (and not the desktop) when I close an app. It would only make sense that I should
get these results if I leave the "Show Windows Store apps on the taskbar" box checked and the "When I sign in or close all apps on a screen, go to the desktop instead of Start" box unchecked; but unfortunately this is NOT the case. I really hope that
an update fixing this is coming sooner rather than later because this is really annoying.

The down arrow of the msctls_updown32 control can fail to display under certain conditions using certain Windows Desktop themes

I have a very odd issue with the msctls_updow32 control. Depending on the type of window or window heirarchy, when I click the up arrow with the autobuddy being an edit control, the down arrow disappears off the down button. I have to move the mouse back
over the down button to get it to display. At first I figured it was something in my OnCtlColor code. But I found that the updown control is never passed to OnCtlColor. I get the window class of each input and it never shows up. Nor does it's window handle
get passed in. Turning off OnCtlColor code and going default doesn't help. What I have found that helps is to turn off WIndows 7 Aero desktop and turn on Windows Classic desktop (Windows 7 Basic has the issue too). I also found that applying a skin to my app
avoids the issue. Using spy I finally found what appears to be a connection to EM_SETSEL. When that message is sent and processed, the arrow has disappeared. I finally gave up and created my own subclass of a CEdit control (MFC) and called SubclassDlgItem.
Then I implemented WindowProc and trapped the EM_SETSEL. Then I had to call UpdateWindow on the spin control and finally get the rectangle of the edit (buddy) and spin control and use that in a call to the parent (dialog) window's RedrawWindow.
So there appears to be an issue with the updown control paired with an edit control that shows up depending on what desktop theme I am using. And to top it off, the window heirarchy seems to matter too (or perhaps the styles of the parent make a difference
as I found the issue doesn't show up on every window that may contain such a configuration). Consider this a heads up regarding the issue! One other note, changing to any of the "High contrast" Windows 7 desktops also avoids the issue. So Aero and
Basic seem to be the key.
R.D. Holland

Fails on Win 8.1 too. As with Win 7, changing the desktop display to one of the high contrast ones avoids the problem. My work-around is below. I have a video showing the problem. It also shows the display being changed to high contrast and how the problem
goes away. If only I could figure out how to use this web page to upload the zip file containing the video ...
LRESULT Myedit::WindowProc( UINT message, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam )
LRESULT lr = CEdit::WindowProc( message, wParam, lParam );
if( message == EM_SETSEL )
CDialog* pParent = (CDialog*) GetParent();
if( pParent )
CSpinButtonCtrl* pSpin = (CSpinButtonCtrl*)pParent->GetDlgItem(IDC_SMALL_PARTS_SPIN);
if (pSpin)
CRect rectSpin;
pSpin->GetWindowRect( &rectSpin );
CRect rectEdit;
GetWindowRect( &rectEdit );
CRect both;
both.UnionRect( &rectSpin, &rectEdit );
pParent->ScreenToClient( &both );
//pParent->InvalidateRect( &both );
//pParent->Invalidate();
//pSpin->Invalidate();
pSpin->UpdateWindow();// skip this and the problem remains.
pParent->RedrawWindow(&both);// skip this and the problem remains.
return lr;

After registering on the album starter Edition 3.0, I am getting an error message saying that windows internet explorer cannot find the website, to make sure the path or internet address is correct. when i click ok, it all goes away, adobe and all. Help

I called tech support that switched me to customer care and after over half an hour on the phone, they told me to look it up in the forums. If you have any words of wisdom, I would love to hear them now. I guess I have to get through this registering phase to obtain the unlock code. I am surprised at how faulty this step is. I expected more from Adobe.
Please help!!! Thanks. Lisa

You need to update your starter edition 3.0 to a 3.2 edition. Go to www.adobe.com, click on "Downloads" then "updates", continue to look under "Product updates" and scroll down to "Photoshop Elements". Now you need to download the Adobe Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3.2. This update will automatically remove your 3.0 edition, and your photos will be accessible in the 3.2 edition. Now you can register again. Good Luck!

Why does the Windows 7 desktop theme interfere with PDF's showing inside Firefox and how to fix it?

Windows 7
Firefox 28.0
Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro (my default PDF viewer)
I have the browser set to display PDF's: "Use Adobe Acrobat in Firefox." This works fine for a while, then it stops working. I get a white page instead with a pop-up window: "Adobe Acrobat" in the top left corner, a blue question mark in the message field and an OK button on the lower right corner. Clicking the OK button does nothing. Changing the desktop theme image to "Windows 7 Basic" magically cures the problem. After changing the desktop image back to the personalized image, the PDF's will continue showing for a brief period, then they will stop again until resetting the theme to "Windows 7 Basic" again. Can this problem be cured permanently?
