Well I'm in a bit of a pickle. I recently downloaded a theme for deviant art like I normally do. I decided to install the custom imageres.dll and and browseui.dll files that came with it. So I went into my system32 and renamed the real browseui.dll to browseui.dll.original and renamed imageres.dll to imageres.dll.original.
The reason I did this is because I'm and idiot and thought this is what your were supposed to do. I then proceeded to try and add the custom files to my system32. The problem is, It says it's moving the file but then it does nothing. For that matter, I can't move, rename, delete, or change any file in my OS (C:) drive. It wont let me remove the .original off the files.
It's not doing anything else to my computer as far as I know except messing up my logon screen, but I really would like to fix this. What should I do?

Try going here and download this: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/add-take-ownership-to-explorer-right-click-menu-in-vista/ Next, go to the system32 folder and highlight the two files and right-click on them and select "Take Ownership". Then, try deleting the imagres and browseui and you should be able to do so. Then of course, remove the ".original" text from the files. After that, reboot the computer.
You may also try in safe mode and see if that works!
