How do I delete a skin pack completely?

[purest]

Ok, my idiotic cousin thought it would be funny to download a christmas skin pack on my laptop. So I tried changing themes because I have to uninstall the Skin Pack first. Thats where I think I went wrong. Because when I uninstalled the Skin pack and rebooted the laptop there were some stuff that were still there from the skin pack which was supposed to be deleted when I uninstalled the skin pack. Like the start orb button didn't go back to normal, the windows logon picture, the sound when I log in and log off or turn off the computer is Santa saying hoho or some other crap. So I want to know how to delete all this stuff off of my laptop for good. Also some files and icons didn't go back to default also. And in explorer.exe theres alot of red thats not supposed to be there.

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 http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/1911-take-ownership-shortcut.html]Take Ownership 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 http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/1538-sfc-scannow-command-system-file-checker.html
it will not harm any data or programs you have installed it will try to repair your system files.

Look at this tutorial http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/285-sounds-change.html 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 ?

Which files can you not replace? And where did you get them.

Welcome to the Seven Forums

To properly change a system file you need to take ownership give yourself permission and rename the old file and then copy in the new one look at Post #6 of this thread will tell you how to do it http://www.sevenforums.com/customization/179502-basic-networking-information.html#post1525656

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

http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/1911-take-ownership-shortcut.html

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.

   Warning

WARNING, DO NOT TAKE OWNERSHIP of the C: (Windows 7) drive!!

Welcome to the Seven Forums

Did you try anything from the 1st page?

Post a link to the skin.

Change to the default Aero theme then:

Do Option 2 of this tutorial http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/1538-sfc-scannow-command-system-file-checker.html it will not harm any data or programs you have installed it will try to find and repair any corrupt system files that you have. You may need to do this up to 3 times with a reboot after each scan.
