Here is a way to do this:

There is a tool called Styler. Install it in XP compatibility mode, enable the Styler Toolbar and apply this skin.

There is also a 3rd party tool called BetterExplorer. Try both solution and use the one you like more.

Better Explorer is so slow – Magnetic_dud Dec 12 '12 at 23:39
@Magnetic_dud Thanks, which one are more stable? Do you used any one before? – PHPst Dec 13 '12 at 3:09
Better Explorer is slow because it is a WPF application. – magicandre1981 Dec 13 '12 at 5:43
I only used Better Explorer, but I could not bear waiting 3-4 seconds to its startup. I think the Styler solution is great - now I am using Windows 8, so I don't need it anymore – Magnetic_dud Dec 13 '12 at 12:29
@Thanks for the answer. Unfortunately non of them run on my 64B win7. – PHPst Dec 25 '12 at 5:37
