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

Edited added System Requirements
- Windows 7 Builds

- Build 7600.16384 RTM
- Build 7600.16385 RTM Sign Off
- x86/32 bit

@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.

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.

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
