As many of us are aware that Microsoft announced the launch of Windows 7 at PDC 2008, that comes with New features and design and one of its prominent features is MAC-like Task bar, you would see icons instead of text in the taskbar for applications. Though Windows 7 beta is available for test yet it’s not fully funtional and you would see the Aero Shake Task bar locked. However I just came across a trick to have the task unlocked that can be accomplished by following below steps.
First of all you would need to down the tool that would unlock the task bar, for 32bit and 64bit download it from these links and drop it in the root of Windows Directory and then follow below steps, remember you must be logged on as Administrator before you execute below commands in the command prompt.
- takeown /f %windir%\explorer.exe
- cacls %windir%\explorer.exe /E /G %username%:F (enclose the username in quotes if username contains spaces)
- taskkill /im explorer.exe /f
- cd %windir%
- start unlockProtectedFeatures.exe
Step 2
Now after having the protected feature state changed, you can press the launch button and voila! you would see or should see the Aero shake Task bar working :-}
