Windows 7 Start Orb Loaderby ~stkov

Customization / Skins & Themes / Windows 7 Utilities / Other

New version (v1.1) available! [link]

System Requirements
----------------------------------------------------
Windows 7 x86 or Windows 7 x64
with default shell (i.e. Windows Explorer, %windir%\explorer.exe)

Note: not tested on Windows Server 2008 R2.

Features
----------------------------------------------------
Change your start orb WITHOUT changing explorer.exe.
If explorer.exe is corrupted, you see more UAC prompts popping up using Windows Explorer. If you can't stand UAC prompts anymore but you still want to turn UAC feature on for security, this program is the choice

.

Usage
----------------------------------------------------
Note: If you are using x64 system, use w7soldrX64.exe. Otherwise, use w7soldrX86.exe

1. Rename the loader as explorer.exe.
2. Run the loader. You may be asked to grant the permission.
3. Press Open button to choose your start orb.
4. Press Load button to apply your start orb.
5. Press Unload button to restore.

See readme.txt in ZIP for more info.

Next version goals
----------------------------------------------------
1. It seems that renaming explorer.exe does not break the certificate. So renaming loader on your own is going to be possible at next versions.
2. Integration of x86 and x64 binaries.
