Visual Studio 2015 displays controls without 3D effects - vb.net

For some reason, VS 2015 is showing checkboxes, radiobuttons, etc. with a flat look:
Is there a way to make them look like this:
This is after just starting a new project with however it is initially setup. I'm running Windows 10. Any ideas?

If you want the Windows 95/98 "old look" you can disable the use of Visual Styles in your application:
Right-click your project in the Solution Explorer and press Properties.
Go to the Application tab and untick Enable XP visual styles.

Visual Basic Studio Project Icon Won't show up on desktop on the .exe, only in the window after it has been opened

Like the title says. When I build my project, it has the icon in the list in the folder, but as soon as I drag it onto my desktop, the icon is the default windows one. Any idea? I am fairly new to Visual Basic Studio 2010, so please try to keep it simple. Thanks!
Place the application in a folder. Create a shortcut on Desktop and point it to your application. Then, the default icon will change.

Visual Studio project not working in Blend (reference errors)

When I open my project that uses a MahApps.Metro window in "Blend for Visual Studio" I get tons of errors. One of them is (this one probably causes all the other errors):
The name "MetroWindow" does not exist in the namespace "clr-namespace:MahApps.Metro.Controls;assembly=MahApps.Metro"
This same project works fine in Visual Studio 2012. Additionally, all resources in Blend have a warning icon. How could I fix this?
Any help would be appreciated.
I fixed it. I changed the debug platform on all the projects in my solution to Any CPU like this:
Opened the project in both Visual Studio and Blend
Opened the Configuration Manager (drop down menu beside debug/release "Start" button)
One of the projects' debug platform was set to x86 so I clicked on <new...>
Set New Platform to Any CPU
Set Copy Settings From to <Empty>
Clicked Ok
Blend then asked me to reload the project and I clicked on Yes To All

wpf project to pixelsense application

I'm trying to write a Microsoft surface application for Samsung sur40 pixelsense machine. I have found some sample projects online and run them on the MS Visual C# 2010, but I want to convert these projects into applications so that I can put them into Samsung sur40 and run them in its surface mode. Do you know how I can actually achieve this?
In order to write these type of applications, I am using the following OS, programs and tools.
Embedded Windows 7 Professional 64-bit
Microsoft Visual C# 2010 Express Edition
.NET Framework 4.0
Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) 4.0
Microsoft XNA® Framework 4.0
Windows PowerShell and DMTF DASH support, and enhanced administrator tools
MS Surface 2.0 SDK(an Input Simulator allows me to develop and test projects on Windows 7 PCs)
Everything is working properly and I can test the sample projects on my PC. I just want to make a Visual Studio project to run in the Samsung sur40 machine. Please help me if it is possible? If you need further explanations to answer my question, please let me know and I try to expand the problem. Thank you in advance.
Menual install !
you can't see the folder "c:\ProgramData"
because the folder's option hide~
so..
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Surface\v2.0\Programs --> copy and paste!! and find!!
you create a shortcut of the ApplicationName.XML in your project for MS Surface applicaion
copy shortcut file and paste --> "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Surface\v2.0\Programs"
and following this steps :
In Windows mode, click Start, click All Programs, click Microsoft Surface 2.0, and then click Surface Configuration Editor
In the left pane, click Application Launcher.
In the Application Launcher pane, in the Launcher title box, type the title text you want to appear above Launcher.
The title text will be placed just above the Launcher menu and is left-justified. You cannot change the font, font size, font color, justification, or location of the text.
Click OK to save your setting and close Surface Configuration Editor, or click Apply to save your setting and continue configuring Surface. Restart Surface Shell for your settings to take effect.

visual basic 6.0 project menu corrupted

I do not know why the project menu in visual basic 6.0 IDE has been corrupted and I don't see
all menu items such as references, project properties,....
it might be useful to know that I have installed SP6.0 of visual studio 2000 enterprise edition.
any suggestion ?
The vb6 ide can be customized.
Try right clicking on a menu or toolbar and select "Customize...", you should be able to see a full list of commands (I can't recall, but there should be an option to reset it, too).
