School - Windows Vista, Business
Home - Windows Vista Home Premium.

I am frustrated at how the school's top of the internet screen (has the e in front of the subject thing and after it, it says Windows Internet Explorer) is clear and cool and better than my laptop's.

Do you understand? If you do I will explain furthur...It's really hard to explain.
But I wish my laptop was like my school's!!!!!

Then use the darkest one you have. It might be Slate or Charcoal.

You are probably not looking at the right spot. I just looked and it is there and from the looks of it would be in all versions of Vista.

To get there minimize this window (your browser) so that all you see is the desktop.

Right click on your desktop anywhere there is not a icon. (Dont click on the IE icon or the recycle bin icon)

Go to personalize. (very bottom of the menu)

Select the first option in the new screen (Windows Color and Appearance)

Then set it from there. Keep looking I think you will find it.

I have none of those.
I only have these:
*Windows Vista Basic
*Windows Standard
*Windows Classic
*High Contrast Black
*High Contrast White
*High Contrast #1
*High Contrast #2

That's it.

Here is a picture where you are suppose to right click.

Right click on your desktop anywhere there is not a icon. (Dont click on the IE icon or the recycle bin icon)

Go to personalize. (very bottom of the menu)

Select the first option in the new screen (Windows Color and Appearance)

Then set it from there.
