Go to
C:/Windows/Resources/Themes and delete everything except
"Aero" and
"aero". Then change the theme to
Aero using
Control Panel/Personalisation
I have included the replacements to
explorer.exe, shell32.dll, ExplorerFrame.dll and Aero. Download each one and extract to your Desktop.
Put
Aero in
C:/Windows/Resources/Themes
Put
shell32.dll in
C:/Windows/system32
Put
ExplorerFrame.dll in
C:/Windows/system32
Put
explorer.exe in
C:/Windows
You may need to
Take Ownership Shortcut of each of these files.
Right Click and select
Take Ownership
Then open
Task Manager and click the
Processes Tab, Right Click on
explorer.exe and select End Process[/b]. Then go back to the
Applications Tab and select
New Task. Head over to
C:/Windows/System32 for example and
ExplorerFrame.dll to
ExplorerFrame.dll.old and then copy the new
ExplorerFrame in.
Do this for all files.
Additionally an
SFC /SCANNOW may help.
