It must just be me, or the program is as easy as it looks. I'm running the 32bit (x86) version of Windows 7 Build 6801. I downloaded the x86 link above of the 'tool' that was "whipped up." I had trouble extracting it under Windows, so I used the Tugzip program to extract it and it extracted fine. I extracted the file to My Documents. Since it is an executable file, I opened it and it was very easy to install, and it took no more than 10 secs. It told me I had to reboot and viola! Once I logged in the new task bar was there. It's a bit clunky, and huge, but right-click on the taskbar, choose 'Properties' and you can shrink the size of the icons on the taskbar thus shrinking the size of the taskbar. It works beautiful and hope this helps others. P.S. My comp specs if anyone cares or needs to know: HP Pavilion DV5-1159SE. Thanks a bunch for the hack.

I did find a way to remove the desktop branding.. here's some instructions and a simple download someone else came up with to get rid of that. be sure to read it all so you don't leave stuff out. http://www.doeswhat.com/tutorialwhat/unlocking-special-features-and-taskbar-removing-30-day-trial-and-watermark-on-windows-7-build-6801/ I also took a different approach to running the new explorer. I made a Explorer folder at %systemdrive%\Explorer, i then copied the moded one to that location. After that, I made a batch file that I suck in the Startup folder. The best part is being able to switch back at anytime by running a similar batch file to revert back to the original. Thanks guys for uncovering this stuff!

I have a username with a space and it wasn’t working so I decided to try a username without spaces and the hack worked. I then deleted to new account and the new UI still works. So if you have a username with spaces then make a new Administrator account and apply the hack that way. I have found out a reason why some might not be able to get this hack to work.

I ran these two guys: [-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SystemCertificates\CA\Certificates\FEE449EE0E3965A5246F000E87FDE2A065FD89D4] [-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SystemCertificates\ROOT\Certificates\2BD63D28D7BCD0E251195AEB519243C13142EBC3] and it took my Desktop Branding from: [Windows 7 For Testing Purposes Only. Build 6801] to [Windows 7 Evaluation Copy. Build 6801]. Just wanted to see if someone knew how. One last question, Does anyone know how to remove the Desktop Branding.. I ran these two guys:

I ran all the steps down to the part where you run the "unlock" exe, and I made a copy of Explorer that resides in %windir% to a usb flash drive. I then run the unlock exe from the flash drive and let it patch the copied version of explorer. So now i can choose between the old or new explorer anytime i want. Just thought I'd share since I figured out another way. Ok, I did find a way around the problem.
