are available on the Microsoft Download Center and Windows Update Web sites as

optional updates to Windows Server 2008.

Using Control Panel

Clicking the taskbar’s Start button and then clicking Control Panel displays Control

Panel. Control Panel contains consoles and utilities for managing server hardware and

operating system settings. Control Panel in Windows Server 2008 has two views:

O Category Control Panel, shown in the following screen, is the default view that

provides access to system utilities by category, utility, and key tasks. Category

Control Panel view is also referred to simply as Control Panel.

O Classic Control Panel is an alternate view that provides the look and functionality

of Control Panel in Windows 2000 and earlier versions of Windows. With Classic

Control Panel, each Control Panel utility is listed separately by name.

Because Category Control Panel provides quick access to frequent tasks, it is the view

you typically will use most often. With this view, Control Panel opens as a console on

which categories of utilities are listed. For each category, there’s a top-level link and

under this are several of the most frequently performed tasks for the category.

Clicking a category link provides a list of utilities in that category. For each utility listed

within a category there’s a link to open the utility and under this are several of the most

frequently performed tasks for the utility.

In Category Control Panel view, all utilities and tasks run with a single click. The left

pane of the console has a link to take you to the Control Panel Home page, links for

each category, and links for recently performed tasks. Not only is this very effi cient, but

it’s very easy to use.

As you might already know, some Control Panel utilities offer a fairly simple interface

and are easy to work with, while others are fairly complex. Utilities that require little or

no explanation are not discussed in this text; you will fi nd a discussion of some of the

more complex utilities later in this section.

Note

When you are working with Category Control Panel view, you’ll see a Search box in the

upper-right corner. To quickly fi nd what you are looking for, type in part of the tool or

task name. Consider the following example: Normally, you access the Change The Display

Setting task under Control Panel\Appearance And Personalization\Personalization, which

requires you to navigate through several Control Panel pages. If you type display in the

Search box instead, you can quickly display this task and click it.

Using the Appearance And Personalization Console

In Windows Server 2008, you can access Personalization settings by clicking Start,

Control Panel, Appearance And Personalization, and then Personalization. As Figure

4-2 shows, this displays the Personalization page in Control Panel.

The available personalization settings are:

O Window Color And Appearance Sets the user experience level and color scheme

for your computer. On the Personalization page, click Window Color And Appear￾ance. In the Color Scheme list, choose the desired color scheme. Click OK to save

your settings or continue with the next procedure. While you are working with

the Appearance Settings dialog box, you may want to set appearance effects for

screen fonts, shadows under menus, and display of window contents while drag￾ging. In the Appearance Settings dialog box, click the Effects button and then use

the options available to manage the display effects. By default, Windows Server

2008 smoothes the edges of screen fonts to make them easier to read. Typically,

this is the desired behavior. For CRT monitors, you’ll want to use the Standard

setting. For LCD monitors, you’ll want to use the ClearType setting.

O Desktop Background Controls the desktop background colors and pictures used.

With Windows Server 2008, a solid color is generally what you want to ensure

that server performance is not affected by displaying user backgrounds. On the

Personalization page in Control Panel, click Desktop Background. Solid Colors is

selected by default in the Location list, allowing you to choose from over 50 back￾ground colors or create your own background color by clicking More and then

using the Color dialog box to select or mix your color. After you’ve located the

color you want to use, click it to select it and then click OK.

O Screen Saver Controls the screen saver and when it is displayed. Screen savers

turn on when a computer has been idle for a specifi ed period, and offer the abil￾ity to password-lock your computer automatically when the screen saver turns

on. Windows Server 2008 performs many housekeeping tasks in the background

when the computer is idle. On the Personalization page in Control Panel, click

Screen Saver. Use the Screen Saver list box to select a screen saver and then click

OK. Although you can install additional screen savers, the standard screen savers

are the best. None turns off the screen saver. Blank displays a blank screen, that

is, a screen with a black background and no text or images. Windows Logo inter￾mittently displays the Windows logo and arcing bands of lines against a black

background.

O Sounds Controls the system sounds used by Windows Server 2008. On the

Personalization page in Control Panel, click Sounds. Use the Sound Scheme list

box to choose the sound scheme to use, and then click OK. Use the No Sounds

scheme to turn off system sounds and the Windows Default scheme to turn on

system sounds. Generally, you do not want to enable the Windows Audio Service,

so click No if prompted to enable this service.

O Mouse Pointers Controls the mouse pointers used by Windows Server 2008. On

the Personalization page in Control Panel, click Mouse Pointers. Use the Scheme

list box to choose the pointer scheme to use and then click OK to save your

settings.

O Theme Sets the theme used by Windows Server 2008. A theme is a collection of

appearance settings that includes the desktop background, sounds, and mouse

pointers used by Windows Server 2008. On the Personalization page in Control
