2 OPTIONS ON HOW TO USE THE SYSTEM FILES 

BY TAKING THE OWNERSHIP OF THE FILES


1. To use the system files you have to take ownership of the files first
2. To take ownership of explorerframe.dll for example
   Go to c:/Windows/System32 and locate the explorerframe.dll then right click on it and select Properties
   Select the security tab and then Advanced
   When a window appears go to Owner tab and click on the Edit button
   Now Just click on the Administrator and click OK twice
   Click on the Edit button now and for all Users and Groups fill all the tick to Allow
   Now click OK twice to exit.
3. Rename the explorerframe.dll to explorerframe.dll.old
4. Go to the System files folder of the Windows Metro IM SP1 package you've downloaded and go to either on x86 SP1 or x86 Pre-SP2 (you must determine which version of explorerframe you are using)
5. Copy the explorerframe.dll from x86 folder and paste it to C:/Windows/System32
6. Same procedure will apply in changing the shell32.dll
6. Restart your computer to see the changes.

BY USING THE WINDOWS THEME INSTALLER

2. Right click on the "Windows Theme Installer.exe" and Run it as Administrator
3. Select which system files do you want to replace and browse it on the designated folder (e.g. If you want to replace shell32.dll in the installer, click on the Shell32.dll checkbox and browse for the shell32.dll file of your choice, in our case, it is located in the System Files folder at the Packages folder)
4. Do the same procedure in changing explorerframe.dll
5. Click Install Theme and see the result
6. For the Shell32.dll to take effect, you need to restart your computer
7. If you want to revert back to the original system files, just run the Windows Theme Installer and click on "Restore Default System Files".
