微软删除了Windows 7 Starter(上网本的廉价版)中的许多个性化选项。 您仍然可以自定义很多内容,尽管其中有些是隐藏的,所以在这里我们将向您展示如何使自己的上网本成为自己的东西。
In all other editions of Windows 7, you can easily personalize your computer by simply right-clicking on the desktop and selecting Personalize. This gives you a wide range of options to change, including themes, background, sounds, screensaver, mouse pointers, and desktop icons.

但是,此“个性化”面板不可用Windows 7 Starter。 如果右键单击桌面,您将看到的只是用于更改分辨率和添加桌面小工具的选项。
With a few quick Start Menu searches, though, you can rediscover many of the personalization settings. Here’s how to change your window theme, screensaver, sounds, and more in Windows 7 Starter. All of these options are in the normal Personalization panel in other editions of Windows 7, but here we’ll show you how to find them in Starter.
但是,通过几次快速的开始菜单搜索,您可以重新发现许多个性化设置。 这是在Windows 7 Starter中更改窗口主题,屏幕保护程序,声音等的方法。 所有这些选项都在Windows 7其他版本的常规Personalization面板中,但是在这里我们将向您展示如何在Starter中找到它们。
Sounds
声音
It can be both useful and enjoyable to change your default sounds. Anyone who’s booted a laptop during a meeting knows how annoying computer sounds can be. Or, if you just want to make your PC sound different than the default settings, Windows 7 includes several very nice sound schemes.
更改默认声音既有用又令人愉快。 在会议期间启动笔记本电脑的任何人都知道计算机声音可能令人讨厌。 或者,如果您只是想让PC的声音不同于默认设置,则Windows 7包含了几种非常不错的声音方案。
Simply enter “change sounds” in your start menu search, and then select “Change system sounds”.
只需在开始菜单搜索中输入“更改声音”,然后选择“更改系统声音”。
Here you can change or remove any of the sounds or even turn on or off the Windows boot sound.
在这里,您可以更改或删除任何声音,甚至可以打开或关闭Windows启动声音。
You can even choose one of the other sound schemes; 7 Starter still includes all of the new sound schemes!

Screensaver
屏幕保护
Most netbooks will have no screensaver enabled by default, and instead will have the screen turn off when idle to conserve power. If you would like your netbook to have a screensaver, Windows 7 Starter does still include all the default Windows 7 screensavers. Simply type “screensaver” in your start menu search, and choose “Change screen saver”.
默认情况下,大多数上网本没有启用屏幕保护程序,而是在闲置时关闭屏幕以节省电量。 如果您希望上网本具有屏幕保护程序,则Windows 7 Starter仍将包括所有默认的Windows 7屏幕保护程序。 只需在开始菜单搜索中键入“屏幕保护程序”,然后选择“更改屏幕保护程序”。
This will open the same screensaver option dialog you’re used to. Choose the screensaver and settings you want.
这将打开您惯用的相同的屏幕保护程序选项对话框。 选择所需的屏幕保护程序和设置。
Theme
主题
By default, Windows 7 Starter uses the Aero Classic theme. This is similar to the default Aero Glass theme on other editions of Windows 7, but without the transparency.
默认情况下,Windows 7 Starter使用Aero Classic主题。 这类似于Windows 7其他版本上的默认Aero Glass主题,但没有透明性。
If you prefer the classic Windows look (from Windows 95/98/2000/ME), or need to use a high contrast theme, you can still revert to this. Type “theme” in the start menu search, and click the “Change the color scheme” link.
如果您喜欢经典的Windows外观(从Windows 95/98/2000 / ME),或者需要使用高对比度主题,仍然可以恢复到原来的样子。 在开始菜单搜索中键入“主题”,然后单击“更改配色方案”链接。
This opens the classic theme selector. Choose the them you want, and click OK.

Background Picture
背景图片
Windows 7 Starter does not allow you to directly change the background. One of the best ways around this is the Slide Show desktop gadget. To add this, right-click on your desktop, and click Gadgets.
Windows 7 Starter不允许您直接更改背景。 最好的方法之一是“幻灯片放映”桌面小工具。 要添加此内容,请在桌面上单击鼠标右键,然后单击“小工具”。
Now, double-click on the Slide Show gadget, or click and drag it to your desktop.
现在,双击“幻灯片放映”小工具,或单击并将其拖动到桌面。

Desktop Icons
桌面图标
To change the icons for common items such as My Computer and the Recycle Bin, enter “icons” in the start menu search and select the “Show or hide common icons on the desktop” link.
要更改“我的电脑”和“回收站”等常用项目的图标,请在开始菜单搜索中输入“ icons”,然后选择“在桌面上显示或隐藏常用图标”链接。
