    Ok so I turned on a new r3 and it asked me if I wanted alienguise thing so i said yes... Can i revert back to windows 7 style windows etc? The alien thing is a little too much for me. Was it a one time setup thing on startup or is there a setting somewhere?

    I switched themes but it changes the desktop background and few other things but not the annoying stuff. For example in the bottom left corner i don't see a windows icon I see an Alien head. All windows that open are... alien styled.. like minimize and maximize etc (the x to close looks like an xbox 'x')

    help ?!

    Wha is stardock? When I clicked alien thing during setup I assumed it was just a desktop picture not a whole new skin. Can I run win7 repair ? I guess I need the disk will that fix it?

    Erm, i would have thought just right click on your desktop and clicking on personalise would do the trick. You can change themes there.

    Check your program files, stardock should be in there. Ccleaner should also be able see it too.
