Someone less savvy than me would have not been able to change the settings.
Change number 9, windows sidebar, completely baffled me...could not find it and found no reference to it, so did not change anything about it.
Same problem with the Aero theme. THe route prescribed to disable it did not translate to my computer. I am seeing that I have Aero themes available, but see no way to disable.
When it tells me to "right click on the desktop where there are no icons" and then hit classic view...or open control panel and click classic view, there is NO classic view choice in these areas. On my Vista machine yes, on my Windows 7 machine, no. I was able to change Visual Effects and a few other things by searching in the control panel for those words. .

Harryoke is correct about the right click on desk top. It should be Right click and from the window that pops up choose" Personalize" then a window opens to change visuals and sound, there you can select "Classic View" by doing this you disable Aero theme.
Also when you right click on the desk top the window that opens has "Screen resolution" option, this is a better way to get to this set up area than in the instructions.

I think Harry is right.
