How to Improve Windows Starter

Windows Starter is the most basic of the whole family of Windows 7 versions. It has a number of limitations on functionality, and its appearance is caused by the need to complete the operating system with new computers for third world countries, as well as new netbooks whose resources are not designed for high loads. However, users of this "light" version should not be particularly saddened, since the absence of many simple elements can be compensated by making the work with this operating system more convenient and enjoyable.

So, the first branded part of Windows 7, which is not in the stripped Windows Starter, is Aero and Glass. Before fixing this situation, it is necessary to pay attention to the configuration of the device, since such "beauties" contribute to increasing the load on the system. That is, if a user has a netbook or a weak laptop, then the attempt to improve the external design may result in a slowdown of the system as a whole.

If the appearance is of great importance, then to circumvent Windows 7 Starter limitations, you will have to use a special software. To do this, there is True Transparency - an application that gives beautiful design to Windows 7 operating systems such as Vista, XP, Starter, Basic. The program is fully Russified and contains several ready-to-use topics. If desired, their list is easily replenished from the Internet.

A lot of censures among users cause the lack of the possibility of a desktop background image. This is understandable, therefore, changing wallpaper in Windows 7 Starter should be implemented with a special utility, the name of which speaks for itself - Starter Wallpaper Changer. The application has a simple interface, and its use will save the user from the need to constantly contemplate the Windows logo.

Another unpleasant moment for Windows Starter owners will be the lack of personalization menu, in which there is access to the settings of all system sounds, screensavers, windows , etc. Each of these elements, if necessary, will have to be searched through the "Search" menu in the "Panel" Management ". The main elements that are most often claimed by users are:

- sounds;

- the screen;

- screensaver.

Using Flip 3D, you can give the Windows Starter desktop a three-dimensional image effect. This will manifest itself in the display of windows and other elements of the system, which will give a special elegance to the design, but will also create an additional load on the system resources.

For Media Center fans, the Media Portal application will be an excellent replacement, which will easily allow you to manage music, TV, radio, etc. Using DVD Maker can be compensated using Movie Maker. If necessary, you can also easily select an application for taking screenshots and an alternative to the utility-sticker. In addition, taking a snapshot of the desktop or active programs allows many modern applications to work with graphics.

All described programs are completely free. They make it easy to turn a truncated operating system into a kind of multi-functional Windows 7. If the above alternatives are not enough to meet all the user's requirements, then he will need to think about installing a more voluminous version of the Windows 7 edition.
