Windows 7 Blue Task Manager

[Sammy]

I found this Windows 7 Blue Task Manager by ~xandir112 on deviantART if you like blue like I do you will like this & I'm just passing this along. Make a restore point first to be safe and follow the directions in the winrar file.

This will work on the 7600 build

[johngalt]

I just added to a couple of other people's rep but it still won't let me rep you again Sammy - I'll keep trying though.

Will this work on Build 7100 64-Bit or 32-Bit only?

@johngal and others thank you for the rep & support, it's very much appreciated.

I'm still on the hunt to see what else I can find to make Windows 7 look better, like many of you I'm sick of the green.

Ok, thanks. The readme in the download doesn't go as in-depth as what you're saying. It just says:
System Requirements

- Windows 7
- Build 7000
Build 7022
Build 7068
- x86/32 bit

 

[Zidane24]

I just verified that this works on the RTM...it looks fantastic

[Klaw117]

I got it working! Thank you so much!

I repped you for the Blue Progress Bar, but I can't rep you for this yet until I rep more people.

Hoping someone can help I did everything as per instructions but when I go to paste taskmgr.exe into system32 folder it tells me it already exists. i have searched all over the folder but cannot find it have unchecked all options in folder options in case it was hidden or system file and now I have no task manager at all. By the way I have taskmgr inside the syswow64 folder and it is th blue version but I get nothing at all when I ctrl alt delete.

 

[loquacious]

I have just noticed that anything I copy to the system32 folder actually ends up in the syswow64 folder and that is why I cannot paste the taskmgr file there.

 

[Rambytes]

This custom work GREAT, and not only into a english Win7, but my Win7 is a french RTM version and this mod work great !!!

Fall back to a previous restore point and make sure follow each step in the readme file.

1. Run TakeControl.exe with system privelage
note: alternatively you can use take ownership right click shortcut
2. Click add then browse to C:\Windows\System32\
3. Select: taskmgr.exe
4. Click take control (note this program takes ownership of files)
5. Change file extension of taskmgr.exe ~> taskmgr.exe.green in
C:\Windows\System32\
6. Copy the (blue) taskmgr.exe and paste it in C:\Windows\System32\
7. Test it by:
a. Ctrl+shift+esc
b. ctrl+alt+del then task manager
c. right click taskbar then task manager
d. search on start menu - taskmgr
e. run then type: taskmgr then click ok
f. win + r then type: taskmgr then click ok
