Go here:

Control Panel -> Appearance and Personalization -> Change the theme -> Aero Themes

Now select one theme where's aero and it should change it back to normal.

Please tell me how to get windows vista taskbar to windows 7, i have tried to change icons width in taskbar, to get little bigger icons in taskbar, now in my taskbar there's only icons, i want it to show icons + text, like in vista, now it's very annoying cause there's only icons.

Thanx mate!

I tried it via regedit:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\CONTROL PANEL\DESKTOP\WINDOWMETRICS\MINWIDTH

I tried to change minwidth and then i deleted the key but nothing happened.

Running: Windows 7 Ultimate Build 7600
