The problem though is that I have no access to the original imageres.dll and shell32.dll so I cant replace them. And space was a problem because I couldnt use the Refresh your PC option due to low space on disk. And I said was because Im fixing the thing right now, what I did for anyone with...

64 bit. Is there no way to explore folders from cmd? I have about 9GB of free space as of now, I can think of a file I can erase that will free about another 6... that would probably be enough to run Refresh.

I did not...

I was messing with imageres.dll and shell32.dll and eventually those files got corrupted and now Windows wont start (blinking black screen). Ive fixed this other times it has happened from advanced options at boot with the Refresh your PC option except that this time I cant because I get the...

I'm using some custom icons, but they seem to be blurry: The ones on the top row I edited with MS Paint to show you how they should look like. Crisp and clean. The ones on the bottom are, for some reason, antialiased on the borders. Close-up comparison: If anyone know why this is...

yes!! that worked perfectly! thank you very much :-)

Glad to hear it's still there, but for some reason It's not working for me. I tried view - right click many folders inside this one and still no luck. This is the only folder in which I can attempt to do it, by the way. All other folders (inside this one) don't have the customization tab...

[Tip] Add Secret ?Hide File Names? Option in ?View? Menu in Windows Vista and 7 - AskVG I followed this guide but the option is not there. I was wondering if it works for any of you because I'm thinking Microsoft removed this feature on W8.

Just for curiosity, what does this command do? I tried it and it says that "the component store corruption was repaired". Yes! That was it! Damn, I thought that it might have been Classic shell for a second, but I didn't bother going any further. Thanks!

Oooh... so how do I fix it? I did the sfc /scannow thing and after a reboot not only I still have the status bar (and yes, I disabled it in folder options), but it also completely messed up the theme (I guess it eliminated the patch required to install custom themes). I guess I'll have to do a...

I will try that, thanks. It's not that, I already tried it. Looks like I somehow have two status bar?

That was not it, unfortunately. And I changed the theme to the default one just in case and It's still there. It seems to be a thing with windows in general, not just folders, as you can see above.

It doesn't even seem to have a name. I tried disabling the "status bar", but that wasn't it (that was another bar that was just over this one). It looks ugly and I want to get rid of it. I'm totally desperate (hence my nickname). Thanks.
