*For All Those Who Are Confused As To How To replace windows notepad* :

This is a file that improves the way windows draws your icons but to use it you
will have to replace the file windows would otherwise use. Type "%WINDIR%\System
32" (Without the Quotes) into your address bar and press enter. This is the dire
ctory the file needs to go in. Click on a blank space inside the window to give
it focus and type notepad to auto-scroll to the file you need to replace. First
of all (This Is Important) Microsoft has services that run by default to prevent
bad programs from making changes to the operating system so simply dragging and
dropping and choosing to overwrite the file will not work as Windows will detec
t this and then undo the change without notifying you. Also, using file replacin
g programs are unreliable as windows will sometimes allow the program to rename
the original file but then redirect the attempt to replace the file (this happen
s more in 64-bit windows) and you will be left with no notepad (breaking window
s) *cute* so you will have to make a copy of Notepad SX pro you want to use by
right clicking on it and selecting "Copy". Then right click on an empty space i
nside the system32 folder again and select "Paste". Windows will ask you what yo
u want to do. Select "Copy but keep both files". This will move a copy of the fi
le to system32. You have to do this because windows will not allow a system file
to be replaced but it will allow a system file to be renamed but before you can
rename the system file you have to take ownership of it first or windows won't
allow you to modify "it's file". The easiest & fastest way to do this is to down
load and install the .reg file that will add the option "Take Ownership" to your
right click menu. You can find it by googling "add take ownership to context me
nu". After you've taken ownership to the original system file you can right clic
k and select rename (rename it to something like explorerframe.ori to differenti
ate that it is the original file and not another backup. If your view settings h
ave been changed to show file extensions (for example .dll) then you have to be
sure to keep the extension of whatever you rename or else the file will no longe
r work. Once the original is named something else you can rename the new file co
py that you made "notepad (2)" to "notepad" and then this file will assume the o
ther's place without intervention from windows. You can now restart to enjoy you
r new animations. If you've somehow broke your system then I am not responsible
as I've only showed you the door which you've walked through incorrectly.
