Hello,

Upgrading Windows 10 Pro from version 1903 to version 2004, I got a disproportionately high address bar in Windows Explorer (with or without Oldnewexplorer). Is it possible to reduce its height, even using WindowMetrics registry settings ? Thanks !

I hate the forced UWP/Metro/Tablet UI in Windows 10, I wish they kept at least the Control Panel.

AFAIK, it is not possible. Maybe it can be doable via AutoHotKey.

It only works in 1909. It doesn't work in 2004.

TechSalt: You can use that, however on 7 to enable the classic theme you can just use the personalization control panel item. Apr 8, 2021 4:52:43 GMT -8

Mina: and as well changing some icons Apr 8, 2021 12:59:07 GMT -8

anixx: You cannot use this on Windows 7. Apr 9, 2021 7:10:57 GMT -8

TechSalt: Has anyone ported the IE6 x64 to 10? There is an x64 IE6 on Windows XP Professional x64 Edition. Apr 9, 2021 7:17:50 GMT -8

Mina: yeah, an os being out of support doesn't mean unusable Apr 11, 2021 14:03:33 GMT -8

TechSalt: Mina Can agree. Still using Windows 10 1903, no problems except i have to disable Windows Update everytime. Apr 11, 2021 21:39:59 GMT -8

anixx: No, you cannot use SCT or ClassicThemeTray in Win7. NO WAY! Only in Win 8.1 or Win 10. Not even in Win 8. Apr 12, 2021 8:39:04 GMT -8

anixx: Simply because there was no such memory handle in Windows 7. You simply cannot do it. Apr 12, 2021 8:40:00 GMT -8

Mina: oh sorry i thought you meant classic theme Apr 12, 2021 12:42:05 GMT -8

Mina: i mistaken it Apr 12, 2021 12:42:12 GMT -8

Mina: TechSalt at least there's a good pause updates option, and yeah, pretty agreeing that the only annoying thing is the darn automatic updates. Apr 12, 2021 12:48:31 GMT -8

TechSalt: Mina Well, i used to use that, but since the pause button expired for me i disable Windows Update now. Apr 12, 2021 21:37:14 GMT -8

ikigai: Does anyone have a way that i can add windows 98 icons to my pc? Apr 14, 2021 14:05:15 GMT -8

TechSalt: Either by resource hacking or using an icon pack (icon packs are not the most accurate thing tho.) Apr 14, 2021 21:06:02 GMT -8

Mina: TechSalt let me guess how you disable windows update: by disabling the service itself. correct? Apr 16, 2021 11:15:24 GMT -8

TechSalt: Mina Yes, i disable the service every boot up. Apr 17, 2021 0:38:03 GMT -8

Mina: well good Apr 17, 2021 13:42:03 GMT -8

Mina: i will do the same Apr 17, 2021 13:42:08 GMT -8
