Or maybe there is something else wrong with my batch script that doesn't work with Russian. The only way you can know for sure though would be if you made a Respatcher with the Russian shell32.dll and see if that makes any difference.

This function disables the CRC check that normally verifies that you are actually patching the correct Resource File.ĭo not display main window patch the file automatically ( -auto implicit, but error messages are displayed)Īutomatically start patching, exit after patching.ĭo not create backup files of original Resource Files. The version mismatch should be ignored as I use this command Patch_shell32.exe -quiet -nobackup -auto -guiless -force -dir There is a new solution to this problem known as OldNewExplorer by Tihiy, the same developer as Start Is Back It works with Windows 8/8.1 without the need to alter any system files and will not effect any other Windows 8 elements such as the Modern App store Update : Updated installer with Multi Language support (Stable) Update : Updated installer to version 1.4, removed post install restore options and added unistaller Very Important!! Always Create a Backup or System Restore before making changes to System Files.ĭoes not restore Ownership to TrustedInstaller (Restoring TrustedInstaller caused black screen after boot) Update: Added a new option to have themeable Control Panel Navigation Panes The installer has 4 settings, the first 2 settings will display the Details pane at the Bottom and the Folderband at the top, the default way seen in Windows 7, the bottom 2 options will place the Details Pane at the top and Folderband at the Bottom, after the install completes you have a couple of post instal options to either run sfc /scannow and restore any modified system files or to use sfc /scanfile to restore onle the shell32.dll, this will allow you to reverse any changes the installer makes, you can also access those options at any time just by running the installer and not selecting from the first 4 options. Note: To have the folderband at all you will need to disable the ribbon first or you will not see any effect from using that option.

This is just a simple installer, it contains 4 Respatcher files that will patch your shell32.dll UI files to bring back the Windows 7 style Details pane at the bottom, it also has options to have the details pane at the top, also know as Topshell and it can put the Folderband at the bottom.

Windows 10 details pane on bottom
