Start Menu Button - Change

I have a 64 bit operating system though:

"and not C:\Windows\SysWOW64\explorer.exe (for those running x64)"

I tried it with the other explorer also, same results. Currently on my guest account.. gonna start recovery n maybe have a go at it tomorrow... seems like soon as i touch explorer.exe it all goes to hell.. "no such interface" or somethin like that, missing firefox links... all my programs wont open, can only open task manager from ctrl alt del... no fun at allllllll

I am running a dual boot and I change the backup back to the explorer.exe and delete the modified file from vista after running install ownership reg file. Hope that helps. I have found a file that I can change and it works properly, I will try to upload a link later but it is hit and miss as far as which images work . I still have not found a consistent solution.

I am dual booting linux, have to give that a shot next time.... Wouldn't be the first time ubuntu has saved me..


.... "after running install ownership reg file."
are you referring to the "shortcut" to taking ownership? (i have had little luck with)

isnt there a program or a script to do this? After all is just an image replacement

Not yet, but we got someone working on it

This is messing with my head. So i basically had the GREAT idea, copy explorer to the desktop.. make my changes.. go into linux... swap the files.. works great cool / doesn't swap them back no biggie.. AND THEEEEN... so i copied the explorer to my desktop.. opened it with restorator... **Poof** go to open photoshop. nothing, hmm maybe task manager "no such interface supported".. ! without even touching the explorer in my windows folder ! ....

so.. any ideas whats going on here?

... maybe something with restorator? any suggestions on an alternative?

.... one more restore and i might just snap.


...... was commenting on a thread earlier that was similar to this.. problems with explorer.exe.. the guy goes on to say that it was a problem with the regs.... maybe the same thing goin on here?


as far as programs go.. if i try to open it directly there are no dice, if i "open something with" a program... works every time) someone hassss to have an idea whats goin on here..

yep. having the same problem with the button for win 64 bit pro. Wont let me alter the name for explorer.exe in windows folder (not syswow)

nice tutorial..i'll try it..
