    A thought. Is the file you have to Take Ownership of, being used as your current theme. If so swap out to another one temporarily while you do the change.

    You need to patch your system files: Theme - How to Apply Custom Themes

    or, if you don't want to change system files: Enabling Custom Themes - Windows 7

    Then take ownership of the aero.msstyles found in C:\Windows\Resources\Themes\Aero

    then replace it with the one found in the zip: Aero folder Aero.msstyles
