As you know, Windows 7 build 7022 made its way on to the torrents few days back and users are downloading it with a high ratio.

Now, if you like the look of new task pane and aren’t planning to download and install the leaked build, this guide helps you go get the new 7022 Task Pane in 7000. You need to follow a simple procedure to get the latest Windows 7 build 7022 Task Pane in build 7000. Here is how.

 

1. Go to C:\Windows\System32 (Where “C” is your Windows 7 OS drive).

2. Locate the file named “Shell32.dll” and take the ownership of the file. If you don’t know about taking ownership of a file, then please read our “How to take ownership of a file” guide.

4. Extract the file ZIP file to desktop. You will get a folder named New Task Pane For Windows 7. Open the folder and copy Shell32.dll file to desktop.

6. Now, copy and paste the new Shell32.dll file from desktop to C:\Windows\System32 folder.

7. You have just installed the new Shell32.dll file. This changes the Task Pane bitmap of the old one to the new Windows 7 build 7022. You should get a new task pane now.

Note: This Shell32.dll file works fine on 32-bit Windows 7 systems. I cannot assure you about 64-bit flavor Windows.
