How to Install Custom Windows Taskbar??

[XpecTz]

I know how to install custom themes but can someone direct me to a site or tutorial that shows you how to install a custom taskbar/windows orb? Thanks

Method 1

To install start orbs:

To start, back up explorer.exe in C:\Windows. It is NOT C:\Windows\SySWOW64

1. Download a free trial of Restorator 2007 here: http://www.bome.com/Restorator (If you do not already have it.)

2. Take ownership of C:\Windows. Download this, it will add to your right click menu: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/1911-take-ownership-shortcut.html (Another great one from Mr GRiM!

2. Open the program, File, open. Then navigate to the path C:\Windows\explorer.exe and open it.

3. Go to Bitmap. Right click on files 6801, 6805 6809 and click asign to. Then find the files with the orb and replace all three.

Method 2:

Read Sergiogarcia9's tutorial on Sevenforums: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/23024-start-menu-button-change.html!

Hope this helps,
Jake

And I'm sure I don't have to tell you this but MAKE A BACKUP! You really don't want to be stuck without a default image to go back to. :S
