This work is unique, setting Preview Pane to Top of the explorer of windows 7, modifying the code of shell32.dll system file.
To the Preview Pane we can have a preview of any file or folder of our system.
Text is readable ease as it takes all the width of the window.
Also i have included Folderband, the command toolbar in which contains commands like Organise, Open etc. The benefit of this is when we press to keyboard ALT + P we dissapear / appear both the preview pane + Folderband, so we realease space in explorer's window when not preview pane or folderband needed.

==============

32 bit windows 7

To this pack included an sp1 32bit shell32.dll, so users have 32 bit windows 7, they have to rename their original shell32.dll to shell32.microsoftoriginal , and then copy paste the new one.
before replacing shell32.dll go to Control pane [view by category] -->so Go to Control Panel\User Accounts and Family Safety\User Accounts and press the folder 'Change User Account Control Settings' set the slider to the next window Never Notify. restart.
Obtain Permisions and Ownership of shell32.dll that located in C:\Windows\System32 (use the "Obtaining Permissions and ownership.txt" for help on installing) , and after that rename your original shell32.dll to shell32.microsoftoriginal , and then copy paste the new one.

i also added another sp1 32bit shell32.dll with mac style icons so users use my mac osx visual styles/themes can use this.
===============

64 bit windows 7

To this pack included an sp1 64bit shell32.dll, so users have 64 bit windows 7, they have to rename their original shell32.dll to shell32.microsoftoriginal , and then copy paste the new one as descibed, so.
before replacing shell32.dll go to Control pane [view by category] -->so Go to Control Panel\User Accounts and Family Safety\User Accounts and press the folder 'Change User Account Control Settings' set the slider to the next window Never Notify. restart.
Obtain Permisions and Ownership of shell32.dll that located in C:\Windows\System32 (use the "Obtaining Permissions and ownership.txt" for help on installing) , and after that rename your original shell32.dll to shell32.microsoftoriginal , and then copy paste the new one which will taken from the 64 bit sp1 folder.

now becarefull 64 bit users must change also another shell32.dll which exists to c:\windows\syswow64
becarefull as this is a 32bit shell32.dll, so do this:
Obtain Permisions and Ownership of shell32.dll that located in c:\windows\syswow64 (use the "Obtaining Permissions and ownership.txt" for help on installing) , and after that rename your original shell32.dll to shell32.microsoftoriginal , and then copy paste the new one which will taken from the 32 bit sp1 folder. ok?


i also added another sp1 64bit with mac style icons so users use my mac osx visual styles/themes can use this.
=============

After the modification the preview pane will go to Top.
via PRESSING to keyboard Alt + P you can open / close Preview Pane + Folderband.
For touch screen machines i include a shortcut which you can add/pin to your taskbar, so a virtual keyboard appear to your desktop for pressing the Alt + P so you can open / close Preview Pane + Folderband.

-----------------

The shell32.dll and the code included here is transformed to be worked with microsoft's Aero visual style.
Based to a modified 32 bit sp1 microsoft shell32.dll which i use to a partition of my 32bit windows 7 system.

i also added a modified 64 bit sp1 microsoft shell32.dll which can be used to a 64bit windows 7 system.

i also added another sp1 32bit shell32.dl and an sp1 64bit with mac style icons so users use my mac osx visual styles/themes can use this.
so users use my mac style themes can use those system files, depending their system [32 or 64 bit].

I am not liable for any sort of damage to your computer from using this .
THIS IS experimental work, just for showing, that Preview Pane indeed could be at top of a window.
