I'm hoping someone can help me. I've been trying for days now and nothing works. I've searched on here and in other forums and while I've found others with the same problem I haven't found a fix.
- I've tried installing several different Windows 7 Visual Styles (themes) and while some haven't worked, many others have, including the one I'm using now.
- One part of the theme I can't get to work, however, is to change the navigation buttons in Windows Explorer. I know they are stored in ExplorerFrame.dll
- I have found that there is one version (1.77MB) in the System32 folder under Windows and other one (1.42MB) in the SysWOW64 folder, also under Windows.
First, I've tried following different theme instructions by 1) Taking ownership of the file, 2) renaming the default file to something like ExplorerFrame.old and 3) Copying the appropriate (x64 vs. 32-bit) ExplorerFrame.dll from the them into the appropriate directory.
When I restart the computer nothing has changed. I have also tried downloading a theme changer that allows you to change the bitmap file associated with the navigation buttons. Even after changing Windows still only shows the standard ones.
Is there something running in the background utilizing some other ExplorerFrame.dll file or similar that I'm not seeing? This is frustrating. Any help would be appreciated.
