Did you not make a backup copy of explorer.exe? If not, you could always use your vista install disc to repair the install.

i made a backup of them and replaced them and still have crashes. how do i repair from the disk ? is there a certain command to run ?

Are you able to use other visual styles without encountering this problem?

If you are talking to me, then yes, it was only this theme that done it. It would also select another theme when I tried to double click it lol.

There is a folder that comes in the main zip file titled "x64 system files." Those are the files you want to use when replacing the system files on your vista64 install.

Nice work. I really like the thinner taskbar. Makes the theme look much cleaner. Have you noticed that the caption buttons on Windows 7 are slightly different? They are larger than the ones on vista. Just thought I'd point out. I installed build 6956 the other day and noticed them immediately.

Looks really nice, a thin taskbar would be awesome.

The size of the medium taskbar in this theme - https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=570707 - To be exact :)

Also, another question.

I am on 64bit Vista, can I use your explorer/shell32 replacements?

Thanks

    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By testman · Posted

      Nothing is stopping you from continuing with your testing cadence. If updates are released every 2 weeks instead of 4, and you test once every 4 weeks, the exact same amount of patches will still be available for you in those 4 weeks. For example: Before 4th week - patch 1, 2, 3, 4 After 2nd week - patch 1 and 2 4th week - patch 3 and 4 Still the same amount after 4.
    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      Everyone else has said it. I'm gonna say it - you don't know what you're talking about. I do. I have two laptops. One work, one personal. I have access to two more laptops - both personal. At home I manually update my personal laptop when I see on Neowin that there is an update - I carry on and only apply the updates when I am ready. My work one only updates when my workplace decides to send it - I carry on and only apply the updates (when they actually arrive, which is usually days after the release) when I switch off the laptop at the end of the day as usual. The two other personal laptops only get updated when I get to it which is rarely - the people who own them carry on using them until I get to it and update them. All of the browsers on all laptops are configured to restore the tabs when launched. Google and Microsoft have changed from 6 weeks to 4, and it looks like it's going to move to 2. None of these changes affect how any of these browsers on the laptops are used. Not one jot. My advice to you is stop panicking whenever you see an update. Just carry on with what you're doing. This even benefits you in a way - from your comment you sound like you don't like the changes or the frivolous new features - great - then carry on as before!

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts

      By Max Norris · Posted

      Nice, hope they *finally* fixed the issue with the NTFS driver where the system would completely brick during large file copies using the built in driver. It's been broken for years requiring me to use the older, slower, NTFS-3G FUSE driver.
