About the halo thing above th pictures. Unfortunately, I do not believe you can remove this, the programmers of vsta had put it there in the first place because they thought it looks good. Personally, I find it quite attractive but if you do not like it, unlucky, but your going to have to live with it… Sorry.

Vista–how do you change a name that appears on lower right corner of desktop?

It lists “Windows Vists [TM[”
“Build 6002″

I think the halo effect has something to do Aero but not sure. No one has any ideas?

I solved it – get a liveCD of Ubuntu, format and install.
Ubuntu installs in 20 minutes, and works.

To unzip a file from my USB to desktop took me 17 minutes in Vista, I tried it with XP and it took 5 minutes – but then I tried it in Ubuntu and it took only 12 seconds – and that’s with all the thumnails painted and finished…

Try it out, you can dualboot (Vista does, however, have a rather nasty loader – GRUB is nice, I can edit a text file to decide what Operating system is first, second, default etc. and adjust all the options also. Eventually, I stopped using Vista, and just use XP for games and Ubuntu for everything else.

Like Morgan I want to get rid of the horrible halo and can find nowhere to say how.

I wanted to keep the vista logon screen but remove the picture. I found that the easiest way to do it is to simply use GIMP or what ever u like and create a .gif file that has a transparent background and then set it as your picture.

Is there a way to remove the picture altogether? I would just like to see a screen to enter my password and thats it.
