Waco Posted July 19, 2012 Posted July 19, 2012 When I tried it back in the XP days it didn't cause any issues uninstalling it and reverting to Explorer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wevsspot Posted July 19, 2012 Posted July 19, 2012 Cool. I remember using some different stuff with XP, Crystal BricoPack and Stardocks Windows Blinds. They made things pretty, but if you ever wanted to stock function and appearance of Windows back you might as well reinstall the OS. Because it seemed like something always broke.

MINDSCI Posted July 30, 2012 Posted July 30, 2012 Windows Gadgets and working links to Gadgets can still be found at this site: http://www.thoosje.com/vista-sidebar-gadgets-gallery.html Windows METRO on first impressions looks nauseating to me... The screen hogging tiles look like ugly "Paint Samples" that make me feel like puking. They look like they were designed by Microsoft's Day Care. They could be Cool if you could change their skins to say Pics of your choosing. The fact that MS is trying to "Force" people into using Metro by not supporting Gadgets anymore does not bode well for Win 8. The "security risk" argument by MS concerning Gadgets is pathetic as numerous Gadgets have proven track records of years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
