ok, so far so good, ....so what!?
two more problems to go... ...the white part and the black font in the screenshot (are they changeable? if yes, how)
Reduced 75%Original 800 x 500
Very nice!
The black font can be changed at Edit Explorer/IE Shell Parts-->Edit Vista/7 Explorer Parts--Explorer Info Pane-->background-->Extra Settings.
The white part is here: Edit Explorer/IE Shell Parts-->Edit Additional Vista/7 Parts-->Additional Explorer Sections-->Top Area on libraries (I think).
thanks Karen for the clarification and location to change that white line, very current info.
I have a ton of bookmarked threads in the forums because I can't keep it all straight in my head all the time.
