Hey guys, i installed the take own file but it don't appear any option to take full control of the files in the system 32 folder. What do you suggest, and how did you do it??

Please respond...

You could do it manually have you followed the take ownership instructions correctly?

Anyone didnt really answer, how to add theme without .theme file on it to the theme list? Many have this problem. Most of those themes comes without .theme file.

[davisballman]

okay, i think i've done everything right, but it's not working, so i guess i haven't

here's a step by step list of my progress, if anyone can help me i'd appreciate it

1. Login as a user with Administrative privileges -or- have Administrative
credentials ready (check under the keyboard for a slip of paper). - done

2. Navigate to %systemroot%\System32 - - done, i think. i'm not sure what %systemroot% is, but i opened my system32 folder

3. Right-click uxtheme.dll and click properties. - done, but i don't see the need to click properties. once i shift-right click the 'take ownership' option is already available

4. Take ownership of the file and close dialogs. - done

5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for themeui.dll and shsvcs.dll - done

6. Right-click uxtheme.dll and click properties. - done

7. Give yourself (or group) Full Control permissions and close dialogs. - done, again i think. full control seems to be the default position, am i wrong here?

8. Repeat steps 6 and 7 for themeui.dll and shsvcs.dll. - done

9. Rename uxtheme.dll to uxtheme.old. - done

10. Rename themeui.dll to themeui.old. - done

11. Rename shsvcs.dll to shsvcs.old. - done

12. Copy patched files into %systemroot%\System32 - done, i guess. i moved the files into my system32 folder, is that the same thing?

13. Reboot (yes, this is really required) - done

14. Enjoy! - I'M NOT ENJOYING THIS


after i did all that all i get is the default themes in the appearance settings, even after i installed a few new themes (macforvista, vistaxt ver 2.0, couple others):



so plz help me, i are dumb. thanks

Hi, i´m new in this and i will like to install the vista black for vista basic but i don´t understand the process you explain above. Can you help me? Thanks

[mcdanielnc89]

why when u go to change teh theme all it says is basic and aero.. How do u know whats what,.. It doens't show the style change unless i would apply it and that gets annoying having to do that.

[Mark.Unlimited]

Does anyone know of a uxtheme that works with SP1? I did a google search and there are some, but I don't know which one to try.

[smokevista]

is that UXTheme Patches will harm my vista business?

[UbErChAsE]

I'm having some problems, and it's all beginning with the Ownership, I guess

Could you explain the directions more clearly please?

No.

They can also download VistaGlazz, it does everything for you.

That thing never works for me

Every time I do it I do it manually.
