Maybe not, but they did not need to speak to me the way they did and certainly did not have to have the attitude they had. A bit of civility would have gone a long way. but that is what i have come to expect from there over seas call centres

Does anyone know if you can get a Win7 theme for 8? Much prefer the older themes and skins.

MMMmmm when I was running windows 8 pre release I'm sure you could still select the aero theme.

It may still be there just hidden.

They removed it at the same time they removed the code for the start button. some excuse about it using to much power.

can you take ownership of the folder?

Ok I dunno how they did it lol Admin account is disabled by default its easy enough to activate it however I still could not change the file

Ok taking control of files is quite complicated

To change permissions of files right click select security highlight you account and click advanced. Where is says owner click change in the new window select advanced. New window click find now.Highlight your account and ok out of it now you will be able to change the write commands of the file

And unfortunately the Aero lite theme is just that and just like windows basic but the research for me is not a waste of time as its taught me a few new things lol
