Simple Classic Theme (fully supports Windows 8.1, 10 and 11)

The object here is not to get someone to accept blame, it is to warn others not to run that file, and to restore a working desktop.

And Classic Theme does two things: it installs DWM_RDR.DLL (as described here) and disables the Metro theme.

You are contradicting what it says here about Classic Theme:

• Install - Places the files: dwmapi.dll, dwmapi32.dll and dwm_rdr.dll under %SYSTEMROOT%

.....If SCT "only runs Classic Theme", and Classic Theme installs dwm_rdr.dll, then dwm_rdr.dll has EVERYTHING to do with SCT. In fact, it's actually the core component -- and once you disable Metro, this file is required to start Explorer.

If it's already part of Windows 10, then why would Classic Theme need to install it?  Dont you know how Classic Theme works?

Please do me a little favor here: go to a Windows machine that does not have SCT or ClassicTheme installed and run a search on the entire hard drive for dwm_rdr.dll using this tool.  Now tell me where that file resides on a normal Windows 10 installation -- then attach it to your post.  (And also tell me where it resides on a system with SCT installed.)

It was not "random" - it was recommended by you, and supplied by the administrator of this forum.  Yes I made a mistake: I presumed that you both know what you are doing. 

That was a declaration, not a directive.

Another user actually complained about the same thing which happened to me, but nobody understood until it was too late.
