Thanks, but I do not want my TB to be transparent. I just want the highlighting of active windows to work, which is apparently only the case when I activate the overall transparency effects. So I...

Thanks for the suggestion, but this seems to be something different.
The Calculator's transparency for example is not affected by this.

Thank you all for your suggestions. But Xilink's method solved it for me. Thanks a lot!

Whenever I have Corel Photo Paint X8 running, Microsoft Excel 2016 takes a very long time to open when I double click on an xls file; but it will open eventually. If I close Corel Photo Paint while...

Edwin: No worries, thanks anyway! I found a substitute for evince in sumatra pdf.
However, one last question if I may:


Is that the reason why Windows 10 doesn't want to list it in the "Open ...

Thanks for the quick reply and sorry for not making myself clear:
