    Help me! I'm going mad trying to find Aero settings.


    Hi

    I've just switched from RC 7100 to RTM Professional (clean install).

    When I was running the RC I found a panel that allowed me to change various Aero settings. It gave me the option to turn various effects off and on but I cannot find it in my new installation. Can anyone tell me where to find this panel? Surely it's not just in Ultimate!

    Cheers - TB

    Hi.

    Thanks for that. The panel I was looking for was the one that hdfrango directed me to in his post above. Thanks for your help.
