how do you get it to work? windows keeps replacing it on me when I try to swap it out....

I got rid of all of the service pack backup files.... where the hell is it pulling the uxtheme backup from?

Create a batch file with these contents and boot into Safe Mode with Command Prompt:

@echo off
REM This batch file assumes you installed windows to C:\Windows and are running
REM this file from C:\ - if this is not the case you'll need to move this file
REM to that location and/or modify the directory names to match your directory
REM structure.

REM This file was created by Shaith for Driverheaven.net, and is released into
REM the public domain.


cd \windows\system32\dllcache
del uxtheme.dll
copy \uxtheme.dll
cd \windows\system32
del uxtheme.bak
ren uxtheme.dll uxtheme.bak
copy \uxtheme.dll
echo Update complete.
echo Assuming you have not removed the shutdown command, the system will be rebooted
echo after a short delay once you press any key. If you have other things you need
echo to do, I advise you to hit control-C and terminate this batch file now.
pause
shutdown -r -t 2

easy way out :
1) boot into safe mode
2) go to %windows%\system32 and locate uxtheme.dll
3) have your new uxtheme.dll ctrl+c 'ed
4) rename your old uxtheme.dll and ctrl+v (gotta be quick )
5) if wfp asks you if you wanna recover files (or something along that line) say no
