Title says it all, this tool no longer works on Win8/8.1

regsvr32 needs to be launched elevated; if UAC is enabled or regsvr32 is not elevated the register will fail with the above error code.

It showing in add-ons manager of IE.

Add support for Win7 SP1 ("Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7601]") in batch files.

I am on Windows 8 Pro, x86.
Using Explorer7Fixes.1.0.0.2

The install.bat file won't work as it says I have the wrong version of windows. This wasn't usually a problem, as I'd manually move the .dll file into Windows/System32 and register it myself in an admin elevated cmd window. That's not really important, just a side note....

Had to reset my Internet Explorer settings to remove Conduit Search hijacker. This stopped explorer7fixes.dll from working in File Explorer, because it was loaded into IE as an 'addon'. Now I cannot get it to work no matter how much I unregister and re-register the Explorer7Fixes.1.0.0.2 version of the .dll, and this is even after restarting explorer.exe/restarting/shutting down.

System Restore fixed this problem for me the last time it happened (I restored back to a time when explorer7fixes.dll was working), but it appears that won't work this time as my restore points are corrupted.

I also cannot find-out how to install the files in the latest 'Explorer7Fixes-master.zip', since explorer7fixes.dll file doesn't seem to be in there.

Please can someone help?

After i install the fix, every time i reopen the explorer the folder view resets.
For example if i set a specific folder view to Extra Large Icons every time i reopen this folder the view changes to Default [Medium Icons]

I'm using Windows 7 x64

P.S : The same problem happens with QTTabBar if i don't enable : "Use old ListView Control" in the Misc. tab of the options.
If i enable it, the views don't change back, but i don't like using QTTabBar, your fix is lighter and way better.

Please find a solution, thanks in advance
