    How to change the back/forward buttons of windows 7?


    Hi, I managed to apply a windows 7 theme however the back/forward buttons of the explorer did not change. How do i change these? I remember in windows xp there was a styler program, is there something similar to that for windows 7??

    Hello and welcome aboard, xZephyrx
    Styler does not support the windows versions above XP

    So you may do one thing . If your theme download contains any file named explorerframe.dll. you may replace the default with it. But the task is not as easy as the styler did in xp, but a bit tough .

    First, Backup Complete Computer - Create an Image Backup (if there is any trouble, you may restore it easily).

    Now , take ownership (Take Ownership of file - Vista Forums) of your existing explorerframe.dll (in C:\Windows\System32), rename it to something like exploreframe.old, paste the supplied one in the location, and restart your computer.

    You may try it, if you dont forget the backup factor
