Black just isn't my color. And as it turned out, that setting didn't do anything to make the current window tab stand out against all the others.

Here is a screenshot which shows the problem. ...

With the exception of this one problem, I have the colors the way I want them. If I mess with them now, returning to the colors I have now may be a lot of work. One thing I've noticed is that...

I'm using similar settings to what you are, but that option is grayed out for me.

One thing I've noticed is that the option "Show accent colors on the following surfaces: Start, taskbar, and action center" is grayed out for me. That might be the feature I want. Any idea how I...

I doubt it's in any tutorials, but I'll look. If it is, they probably just say to turn on High Contrast. Where can I find the tutorials -- in Windows or on their web site?

Thanks.

Just as a reminder, I am looking for a way to make the currently active tab either lighter or darker than the other tabs so that I can see which tab I am working on when I am looking at...

Let me start out by saying that the people here have been very helpful to me since I started using Windows 10.

I am finding Windows 10 to be very hard to customize, especially where colors are...

What is the Group Policy Editor? What features does it have?

Do you have the Home version?

One would think that the more expensive version would have more features. I would especially think that the Pro version should have that feature since the landscape...

Yes, I found it, thanks.

Where will I find that information? All I am finding is the computer model, not the Windows build.

Sorry, I didn't know you meant administrator vs. standard user. Yes, I'm the administrator.

I will at some point go into the registry to see what it says. Maybe I ran the registry program in the...

I don't know what kind of accounts you are talking about. Windows 10 seems to be tied into having a Microsoft account, but I don't know anything about that. One of the big changes between Windows 7...

MaloK, that sounds like a good solution. However, early in the thread, someone advised me to use a Reg program which I downloaded from this site. I ran that program, and it didn't seem to make a...

When IBM stopped making its PCs (heaven knows why), they discontinued the well-made keyboard that came with it. The right to manufacture it was sold to Lexmark, and when they discontinued it, the...

No, Spunk, not every keyboard has a Windows key. I have been a touch typist since the late 1960's. When the Windows keyboard came along, I felt that the Windows key was getting in the way of my...

Thanks. It turns out that the Print Screen key works just fine. What isn't working is my photo-editing program.

My keyboard doesn't have a Windows key (as I said in my first post).

Thanks...

Hi there.

Pressing [Print Screen] is not saving an image of my screen into memory. I looked up a tutorial on the internet, and it said that I had to press [Windows] + [Print Screen] -- but I...

Sorry for not responding sooner, as I was sleeping.

Under the seven gray blocks with plus signs in them, I have the two green links, but that option does not exist for me. If it did, I would have...

Zee, that sounds fabulous. However, after following those steps, I don't have an option that says "Show lock screen background picture on the sign-in screen - On/Off".

I'm just not seeing such an...

That's useful information. Thank you, Bree. And thank you for being the only one who understood my question -- although I do appreciate the efforts by the others.

By the way, I DID find that...

Thank you, Bree. I'll try that.

I just tried the tutorial I was given by z3r010, and it didn't work. (I put my computer to sleep, then woke it up, and there was still a big, ugly picture...

Thank you, essenbe.

So it really takes a registry edit to get rid of the picture? It's hard to believe. Windows becomes less customizable with each new version.

Okay, I'll following the...

z3r010, the tutorial you sent me to is somewhat confusing, as follows:

DOWNLOAD -- [What is this .reg file that I am downloading? I need to know.]

4 Save the .reg file to your desktop.

5...

I don't want to bypass signing in. I just want to get rid of the stupid picture.
