Tranwiz did beautifully copying a profile over from WinXP into Win7. However is left the desktop looking like Windows XP instead of Win7. I found a way to switch back to the Areo theme (rundll32.exe %SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL %SystemRoot%\system32\desk.cpl desk,@Themes /Action:OpenTheme /file:"C:\Windows\Resources\Theme\areo.theme").
But I wanted to check if there were any other settings that would have carried over from WinXP to Windows 7 that would need to be reset to get the windows 7 experience. Thanks, Bill |

Hi Bill, Transwiz's job is to transfer a profile from one machine to another as faithfully as possible. If you want to change it afterwards that is up to you. Thanks for posting the command line to automate changing the theme: that is very useful. You can of course just right-click on the Desktop and choose "Personalize"  We are not aware of anything else you need to change to get the Windows 7 experience. |
