This

Do you have the fancy glass windows or more flat boring ones?

You can turn on Aero Glass by doing the following - Right Click on the Desktop and click Personalize. Click Visual Appearance ->Open Classic Appearance Properties. Ensure that Windows Cista Aero is selected and click OK. Now click the checkbox next to Enable Transparent Glass and click OK.

I don't get the two posts thing... do we need to help you twice now?

 

 

   Making two posts seems quite illogical....
