3. Copy the “themes” folder from the theme archive to “%windir%\Resources\“.

4. Goto “%windir%\System32” and take ownership of “ExplorerFrame.dll” and “shell32.dll“. If you don’t know how to take ownership of any file then goto this link and follow the tutorial.

5. Once you have taken ownership of the two files, rename them to “ExplorerFrame.dll_old” and “shell32.dll_old“.

6. Goto “%windir%” and take ownership of “Explorer.exe“.

7. Open the “windows\system32” folder from the theme archive you have extracted.
