I like to customize my installs. I don\u2019t know why, but I just can\u2019t leave what the software developers, and graphic artists gave me by default! I guess that is the underlying reason why I made Bauer-Puntu Linux<\/a>. Windows is no exception. In Windows XP, I would use programs like StyleXP<\/a> to change the boot up splash, and the theme. I hated the default blue and green, and just had to make it something that not too many people had.<\/p>\n

Now I am using Windows 7 (When I use Windows) and although Windows 7 looks a million times better than Windows XP out of the box, when the opportunity comes to tweak it to make it look a litter more unique, I am going to jump all over it!<\/p>\n

I found a program that will let you change the way your start button looks in Windows 7! Check it out, here is how your start button normally looks:<\/p>\n

\"original\"<\/a> <\/p>\n

And here is how it could look with a little Bauer-Power!<\/p>\n

\"Bp\"<\/a> <\/p>\n

The program is called The Windows 7 Start Button Changer<\/a>, and it comes with 10 different buttons so you can make your Windows 7 install unique. It also has an option to backup explorer.exe<\/em><\/strong> before you make any changes so you can revert back if you really screw things up.<\/p>\n

\"buttonchanger\"<\/a> <\/p>\n

If you want to download a version that has the Bauer-Power logo (Plus a bunch of other extra orbs), I have repackaged it and uploaded it to my FTP server here: (Windows Start Button Changer w\/ Bauer-Power<\/a>)<\/p>\n

What other free tools do you use to change the look and feel of Windows 7 to make it a little less like Bill gates, and a little more like you? Let us know in the comments!<\/p>\n
