What "Advanced" button?

Hi All,

I am trying to get to the "Advanced" desktop settings.

I am reading the following directions:

http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/78...ppearance.html

On step 4, it says to:

4. Click the Advanced button. (See screenshot below)

I may be going blind, but where is this mystery "Advanced"
button?

Many thanks,
-T

Try Step 3. Click on the link at the bottom and then click on the
"Advanced" button, just like it shows in step 4.

It's exactly where indicated.
If you have Vista Basic my guess is you don't have the advanced options.

I tried it and I' ve got a button. Are you using 64-bit Vista? I see that
website is dedicated to 64-bit. So maybe that's the issue?

Do you mean the one called "Open classic appearance properties for
more color options" in step 3?

On my Vista Ultimate, when I click on "Windows Color and Appearance",
it goes straight to what you see in step 4. I don't get the
color palette.

But on my customer's machines, I just get the color palette I see in
step 3. Don't remember see any advanced button.

Is this behavior different on the different Vista versions?

I am using 32 bit. I thought these direction would be similar.

What is funny, is that it seems to be different on various 32
bit Vistas. Mine (32 bit Ultimate) bypasses the color
pallet completely

I am using "Ultimate". I don't even get step 3. I jump
straight to step 4, which is what I want.

Problem is, I don't seem to get to step 4 at all at
customer sites -- just step 3.

I am using 32bit Ultimate. I get the same results as the page you directed
me to. I dunno why the difference. Someone with a higher pay grade than
mine will probably know.
