How do I remove a graphics settings profile?
Hello,
I set up 3 different graphics setup profiles in graphics "themes/schemes/whatever they call it" (I can't check 'cos' I'm on a different system at the moment) accessed by right-clicking on desktop. I would like to remove one since 2 are identical - and I'm sure I will need to remove more in the future depending on what I do ;-) I looked everywhere, and I can't find anything in any WIN dir files nor in the registry, nor in a Google search. Any help will be greatly appreciated. t. |

How do I remove a graphics settings profile?
You should know that "Graphics Schemes" are not a standard part of Windows.
You should make an effort to investigate what installed software is giving you this option to "Save as Scheme" A very popular product installed with many PCs is "IGFX" (often included with PCs with Intel Graphics Controllers). This would "save" a scheme in the registry under the key : HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Intel\Display\igfxcui\ igfxsrvc\Schemes\... ....then under a further key under this one with the name you saved the scheme as. Other makes of graphics controllers may have their own different softwares... == Cheers, Tim Meddick, Peckham, London. :-) "thanatoid" wrote in message ...

: You should know that "Graphics Schemes" are not a standard part of Windows. I may be using the incorrect term... I have an Intel Extreme Graphics chip... and since this machine boots 98SELite or XP I can't check right now what it is called - I should checked have before posting, needless to say, and I will before I post this reply. LATER: The item in question is actually called "Display Modes". There are 3 custom ones I set up above the standard (although IMHO unnecessary - why can't the user just set up the ones they want and have only those show up?) "High Color" and "True Color" sections (with diff. resolutions to choose from but NO refresh rates) below the divider. I would like to know how to get rid of one (or more) of those "saved" custom Display Modes. As I said, I have looked everywhere and found nothing. FWIW, *WHY* isn't there a check-mark next to the custom display mode you are running? Memory fails, and there is at least one other aspect to a display mode (the just-mentioned refresh rate, quite crucial sometimes) which is NOT covered by clicking on the "high" or "true" color sections - which DO display a check mark. Sigh. Not to mention even the difference between "true" and "high" color is not always immediately noticeable. You should make an effort to investigate what installed software is giving you this option to "Save as Scheme" Misnomer, my apologies.

Great. Found them, fixed it. The (unanswerable) question is, ***WHY*** didn't I find this when I searched through the registry using the words 'display', 'theme', and 'scheme' AND a name of one of the schemes? Oh well. Thank you SO much. |

If you read the subsequent posts - you will see that it is in fact "Graphics Schemes"
we were talking about here. (Intel Graphics chip set factory included software) ....And not "Window's Themes" which I am well aware of but cannot be accessed in the way described (i.e. directly accessed by right-clicking on the desktop and using the "Graphics" sub-menus). To access Window's Themes you would right-click on the desktop and choose "Properties" which would bring up the first page of the "Display" control panel extension (i.e. Themes). == Cheers, Tim Meddick, Peckham, London. :-) "J.

How do I remove a graphics settings profile?
I don't know what it is you're saying.
I say [again] that I'm well aware of what "Themes" are, and that they are "saveable" as [.theme] files. I even explained how to navigate to them on the first page of "Display Properties". The "Schemes" quoted by the OP refers to the "Graphics Schemes" right-click desktop sub-menu. The two things are poles apart. "Themes" and "Schemes" only similarity is that they rhyme together. I felt I had explained sufficiently already, obviously enough for the OP == Cheers, Tim Meddick, Peckham, London. :-) |
