How do I delete a skin pack completely?

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.

Do not delete everything in C:\Windows\Resources\Themes
Look in personalization first a look at the Aero Themes do not delete anything with these names.


Do Options 2 of this tutorial first SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker
it will not harm any data or programs you have installed it will try to repair your system files.

Look at this tutorial Sounds - Change you may be able to select the sound theme being used and delete it.
Let us know how it goes for you.

I have the same problem, but it actually didn't work for me, because I can't replace the files above, saying they are IN ACTION ? o_O

Welcome to Seven Forums man0182. The link in his post was not formatted correctly. It refers to this tutorial

Once installed, a Take Ownership shortcut appears on the Right click context menu when you right click on the file or folder you want to take ownership of. Take note of the warnings.
