| windows 7 home premium 64 bit 12 posts | Explorer.exe using unapplied themes, why? I was trying to delete some third-party themes from the themes folder, but when I try to delete their respective folders, windows tells me that the Windows Visual Styles files are being used by something. I used procexp.exe to find out what, and apparently they're being used by explorer.exe. Why would explorer.exe be using these files, and how would I delete the files? |

Then Delete the respective folder and .theme file in C:\Windows\Resources\Themes. EDIT : The theme you are deleting must not be the theme currently applied . |
