    When I tried to download the Windows7 file from deviantart a windows message box popped up asking me to find a program to open the download or save it. Does Vista not already come with a program for unzipping the download? Did everyone else need to acquire a similar program before downloading the Windows7 program?

    make the taskbar buttons showing as windows 7

    Start > Run > regedit > HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics

    In there you must find the a "REG_SZ" with the name "MinWidth"
    (write it without the quotes)
    If you cant find it create one on your won with the name "MinWidth"
    (write it without the quotes)

    Once you find it double click on it and set the number 56 then click ok and close.
    registry and restart your computer.
