    Windows Classic. Can't open anything.


    Hello guys I'm new to the forums :)
    I thought this forums might be the answer to my problem I have currently so...

    A few days ago I was going through themes and I accidently clicked "windows classic" and ever since then, EVERY folder, settings or what not I click gives me a folder that says "windows explorer"...
    I can't open my personalization or my computer to check for anything because it would say "windows explorer"
    I can open itunes, google chrome and all that other program but just not things thats related to the system..
    I tried sfc /scannow (access is denied, can't get into my computer because everything is "windows explorer")
    Could someone PLEASE help me with this issue.. I can't really do anything at this state..

    Welcome to the Seven Forums

    Do you have the install DVD or repair disk, if so have a look at this tutorial and see if it will help SFC /SCANNOW : Run in Command Prompt at Boot

    that's a problem because I don't have the CD... and I tried that but since I can't open any folders or type sfc /scannow, I'm kinda lost on what I have to do..
