Windows has designed you a few very unique styles. If you are still not satisfied, click on the Advanced button to adjust the color of each component accordingly. Make sure your computer has a unique interface that no one has. If you want the interface to be the same, go back to the Color scheme section, select Windows Classic .

This way, you can Vietnameseize My Computer , Recycle Bin , some menus and icons in Control Panel (Figure 3). After that, you can back up this key to use it on another machine.

Rename in System Properties

Most of the time when you buy a set, the subscriber and the company are already defined by the manufacturer. This information appears in the System Properties dialog box, so that 'people's computer' is not yours anymore. However, you can change these parameters as follows: go to Registry Editor and search for the keys HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMICROSOFTWINDOWS NTCURRENTVERSION . In the right pane, you find two RegisteredOrganization and RegisteredOwner values ​​to edit into your company name and name.

If you don't have one, create a String of type by right-clicking an empty area and selecting New > String Value (Figure 4).

Place any wallpaper on the desktop

The wallpaper usually only displays in full screen mode or in the center. With this tip, you can set the wallpaper anywhere. Go to Registry Editor and find HKEY_CURRENT_USERCONTROL PANELDESKTOP . Then create two more String-style keys named Wallpaperoriginx respectively (space left to pixel) and Wallpaperoriginy (top down space in pixels). Then you double click and set the desired value. After you have finished editing, change the background image to set it to take effect. You can do it many times to get the best results (Figure 7).
