Windows 7 Ownership of a file

[Ph?bus]

So I wanted to get a new theme, and I did.
But, I have to take ownership of the Explorerframe.dll to do so, so I can overwrite it with the new one from the theme.
So I did that, and granted full permissions to the file. I renamed the original (as per instructed by the tutorial), and tried to move over the new Explorerframe.dll (from the theme), and it will not let me. It keeps telling me that the file is already there, even though I tell it to overwrite.
And help is greatly appreciated.

try removing the file then putting the new one in instead of trying to click replace

I did.
Even so, it says the file is still there.

Actually, I just tried to delete it again (haven't tried in a while, I've pretty much been raging about it all day), and it says I can't because the file is in use.

This made me think, if we have people who can make Windows 7 themes, we should make a eGO theme and have it avalible!

I've already taken ownership of the file.
It just won't let me replace it, even if I rename it.

No, I followed every direction, but for some reason, this freakin' file is being an ***.

open task manager and make sure there isnt 2 instances of the file listed - if you cant delete, its in use.. if its in use, you can terminate the tree in task manager

happy hunting.

Trying now.

Did not work. Killed my start bar and closed all windows, if I open up a new one, then the process starts again.

 

[Silent_Predator]

start in safe mode and see if the file is still in use

Already tried that, and yes, it is.

try this Explorer.exe

 

[Silent_Predator]

try desktop/properties/desktop/theme(NONE)

this may free up the dll for overwrite.

try this Explorer.exe

Thanks. Will try it soon.
I have to restart because my start bar is dead and I can't open any windows.
