Heres how I do it:

1. I rename the new shell32.dll to some other name(remember the name)

2. I put the file into the C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32 folder

3. Go to Task Manager and end task of explorer.exe

4. Make sure GUI is gone

5. Run task from Task Manager, type cmd to call command promt

6. Navigate to C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32(type cd C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\)

7. Rename the old shell32.dll to something else and rename the new shell32.dll to the filename shell32.dll

8. Run task from Task Manager, type explorer to call GUI

Certain risk is invovled so be careful, these steps worked for me.

You could always use the Replacer but that app doesn't work for me.

Good luck.

I'm sorry, but do you all even know what you are talking about?

1. The icons are pixelated because there are more than 42x42 out there. Unfortunatally, 58x58 has not been released yet. Stop griping about it.

2. The folder icons should be looking ugly in your XP boxes, BEACUASE they are meant for longhorn. They are seperate layered fodlers that allow the contents inside of them to be shown. See attached file!

Therefore there is NO WAY your XP can display them properly because the avalon and aero are not activated to provide true transparency support.

    • Uhm, that's every business ever, though. It doesn't matter if a bajillion users are using it. As long as it's not making bank, it's probably headed for the graveyard.
    • Yeah Patchou was an active member here, good ol' times indeed.
    • Samsung is the new Google... they don't care if millions of people are using it.
    • Still no word on Tides of Annihilation...... so weird that it wasn't shown at the big Game Fest. Guess I'll put it in the bin like Judas and Squadron 42.
    • Samsung is shutting down yet another app used by millions by David Uzondu Samsung has announced that it is shutting down Samsung Max, its VPN service used by more than 50 million people, effective today. Samsung Max VPN, if you don't know, was an Android app born on February 23, 2018, out of the ashes of Opera Max, a very popular data-saving VPN that Opera had discontinued the previous year. Samsung bought the discontinued service, rebranded it, and added a native Samsung UI to fit the Galaxy ecosystem. The app could do things like compress images, help you manage background data on a per-app basis, reduce video data consumption, shrink music files, optimize webpages, block advertisement trackers in incognito mode, and encrypt your internet traffic on public Wi-Fi networks. Image via SammyGuru If you open the app now, you'd be greeted by a shutdown banner warning that all VPN, data saving, and privacy services stopped functioning on June 15, 2026. The creators failed to provide a reason for the shutdown, instead publishing a farewell note that read: "Thank you for being with us over the years. Your support and activity truly meant a lot to us and helped shape this app into what it became." This same message appears on the Google Play Store listing for the app as well. Max VPN is the latest service from Samsung to join the list of discontinued applications from the company. Just two months ago, the Korean tech giant announced that it is completely shutting down Samsung Messages, forcing millions of users to migrate to Google Messages by next month. The only devices that the shutdown won't affect are older smartphones running Android 11 or lower. Some of the features of Google Messages that Samsung hopes will entice users include AI-powered scam detection to block suspicious links, integrated Gemini AI tools to generate quick replies, custom chat bubbles, and universal RCS compatibility for sharing high-quality media with iOS users. The platform also offers seamless syncing across tablets and smartwatches. In addition to that, users gain access to message scheduling, smart classification, and automated category sorting.
