I want to use the New Standard one but... the computer won't let me delete the files! The uxtheme.dll, and aero.mss or whatever the heck they are. The ones that have to be replaced, that is.

Help!

You need to take ownership of the file(s) first. Then youll be able to change the permissions.

Right click the file

Properties

Security Tab

Advanced

Owner Tab

Edit

Then select the user from the list that you want to give ownership to.

Then you will probably still have to give your self permissions too.

Right click the file

Properties

Security Tab

Advanced

Edit

Edit

Then tick the check boxes.

Ecat, hope you don’t mind. I took this from your post. You explain it well. :)

how do i replace the damn uxtheme.dll?? i have tried manually, with replacer, nothing works. i liked the fugal theme, but im having problems changing the uxtheme.dll . someone please explain

Right click the file.

Go to “Security”.

Click the “advance” button.

Go to “auditing”.

Click “edit”.

Then click “add”. Add the user you want to have the permission. Give full permission. Click ok.

And ok, again in the next box.

Then go to “owner”.

Click “edit”. If your user is in the list, select it and click “apply. If not, add the user.

Then you can go to the “permission”, and click edit. Add user……….like before.

Some files don’t require all the steps. But I think you need this in this case.

There is a lot of Protection in Vista.

If you are not familiar with that, then take a look at this page. It explain how to go around the problem

      Free Software Foundation Europe pushes EU to force Google to allow AI uninstalls on Android by Paul Hill Credit: Pexels Users should be able to fully uninstall AI-based features from Android devices and be able to access interoperability functions, free from Google’s verification requirements, the European Commission has heard as part of an Android interoperability consultation under the Digital Markets Act. These measures were proposed by the Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE) last week when it submitted its documentation. The FSFE noted that Google had started silently installing AI models without telling users. It noted that the EU’s DMA requires companies like Google to allow users to uninstall pre-loaded software from their devices, but in the case of the AI models Google is installing, they reinstall if you delete them, contravening the DMA. To get Google back under control, the FSFE has told the European Commission that there needs to be improvements within the Android Open Source Project (AOSP). First, it said that users should be able to fully remove pre-loaded AI components from their devices, with companies being prohibited from silently reinstalling or reactivating them. Second, access to Android interoperability features should not be contingent on registration, authorization, or contractual relationships with Google. This pertains to Google’s attempt to force developers to register with Google, even to publish apps to alternative app stores like F-Droid. Discussing its submission, Lucas Lasota, FSFE Legal Programme Manager, said: Google is planning to roll out its Android Developer Certification in September 2026. This will force every Android app developer to register with Google before their software can be installed on certified Android devices, but it should affect those who have removed Google Apps from their device. The program is controversial because it entails the signing of contracts and payment of account fees to Google, as well as the handing over of the identities of developers. It said: The FSFE said that if the Commission’s draft measures remain unchanged, then Google will be allowed to make developers verify their identity. The FSFE believes that asking developers to register is contrary to the text and spirit of the law. In summary, the FSFE has told the Commission that no developer should need a Google account, a Play Store presence, or any agreement with Google to access Android’s interoperability features.
