Turn off Aero for a particular program

[Guest]

Is is possible to turn off the wide border for a particular program which is
a 16-bit program? I've tried the different compatibility modes, etc., no luck.
The problem it causes is it takes away some of the window real estate, in
particular, the button bar area, in the program. The program works fine if I
turn off Aero for all programs.

right click on its icon , or exe and go to properties and compatibility,
there you will find an option to disable themes (or something like that)

Thanks for responding. I don't know exactly what "Disable visual themes" does
or is supposed to do, but it doesn't have any effect on the wide border
problem that Aero does to this program.

I have a solution.: Ditch the 16-bit software. It's 2007. ;-)

we should be all using 64 bit now... so ditch the 32 bit ones too
