If you are bored of look at the same old Windows 7 Start Orb, you can now change it easily
Click on Select & Change Start Button to select a custom Start Orb.
The program will backup you original
explorer.exe, change the start button and restart explorer.exe.
NOTES:
1. Before changing from one custom orb to another custom orb, I’d suggest you first Restore Original Explorer Backup and go back to the defaults and then change over to another custom orb.
2. The program, must be run from its own Program Folder.
3.
Best to always create a System Restore point first. Should you face any issue, you can always restore back to a good point. Alternatively, copy-paste
sfc /scannow in an elevated cmd. This will run the
System File Checker and replace all corrupted system files with original system files.
4. In the rare eventuality that you lose your explorer.exe,
then from your desktop, press CTRL-SHIFT-ESC to bring up the Task
Manager. Click File tab > New Task > Type cmd > Click Run. In
the command prompt which opens, type sfc /scannow and hit enter. Restart when asked to.
5. IF in x64 version, you receive an ‘unhandled exception‘ error, please click on Continue or try running it again ‘As an Admin‘.
6. If the Start Button
does not get changed, you may have to follow these steps:
- Make sure that the program is closed.
- Manually
take ownership of “
C:\Windows\explorer.exe” – or you can use our
UWT to do so easily.
- Run the program and select the orb. It should now work.
I have tried & tested it on
Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit, personally and it works like a charm. Right
click the program icon and ‘Run it as Admin’.
The download also includes some 10
Sample Start Orbs, whose creators have been duly credited there. If you
need more, you can always search for them on DeviantArt on on the
internet.
