Can't replace shell32.dll
OK, so I've taken ownership of the file and renamed it to Shell32.dll.bak. When I go to drag the new shell32.dll into the System32 folder, it asks me to overwrite shell32.dll, and then tells me that I can't. Am I missing something here?

See this thread to enable administrator account.
Log onto administrator account and try to overwrite from there. Not positive it will work but worth a try. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Toshiba Satellite A135S4487

If I'm not wrong according to the Article in order to applying the Custom theme they recommned to Take Ownership for the whole Windows Folder

Well, I got it to work. I took ownership of the entire Windows folder, and then tried to replace it, and it still said no. I use TeraCopy as my main file copier, but when I turned if off, it worked.
Thanks for the help guys!  | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Model #: BRMD10926
