So im finally starting to tweak my desktop (Personalizing Theme). Currently in the process of messing around with Reaper S7n (Theme modifier) and Nexus (Icon Dock). I'll post an attatchment with a screen of my desktop.
Here's my problem: I'm trying to modifiy my start menu so that I will instead have a 1click icon on my dock. But for some reason when try to take control of the Authiui.dll I get an access denied message. Heres an awesome link with full instruction as what to do. In case anyone else is interested in this modification: http://rajtheeban95.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d238ia8
that start menu orb looks so cool.
Heres what modifications that I have made in the past: I patched 3 .dll system files including uxtheme.dll , themeservice.dll , themeui.dll. However, I restored them to their original state. I replaced the ExplorerFrame.dll , shell32.dll , and explorer.exe with modified copies. The exact script is available upon request. All of the files that were modified and replaced all requied me to take ownership of them.
I never could get every aspect of this Theme Mod to work. So I did a System Restore to the benchmark I made before I started patching and didnt restore properly after reboot. So I then undid the Restore and thats when I manually unpatched those 3 .dll files that I first mentioned. Everything else I have left the same.
I saved all my original .dll's in a separate folder, so I could just as well go back and manually undo everything I did.
Heres a link to Reaper S7n for anyone interested. I couldnt find any posts on it on this forum. So heres one now

Any ideas what to do troubleshoot this access denied error?
LOL k so I figured it out when I was writing this. Must have selected wrong user to try to allow full file access to. Oh well. I still post this anyways. Check out those links. Especially if you aren't that experienced with this stuff. Its so easy I can almost do it.
That problem aside I still need to figure out what I did wrong with my installation
