I created a Windows 7 look-a-like Calculator that is portable. Download at:

This calculator is fully compatible with Windows XP and Vista, but you must have .NET Framework 4 to run it.

I replaced both files successfully. I tried opening it but I can't and the sidebar disappears then reappears for a second. I have a 32 bit Vista and I don't know what else to do in order to open it. The ONLY way I can currently open it is when I open it from the ZIP File.

^^ %windir% means Windows directory present in system drive where Windows is installed, i.e. C:\Windows.

Taking control of ".exe" files takes a bit more work, but can be done without going into the command prompt, and may take a few tries to master. Right-Click the file and click "Properties." Under the Security Tab, click "Advanced" towards the bottom of the window. Now you are in the "Advanced Security Settings for calc.exe" window. Edit the permissions and the owner as necessary here to include the current user account, noting that administrator permissions are required to do this. After overwriting the file, you may return to this menu and remove your control to avoid accidentally messing up the file in the future, or leave it as-is to your discretion.
