After I take ownership I try to rename it to "mspaint_backup.exe.mui" but it says I need permission from trusted illustrator to make changes to it. Any help?

What Paint used to be is a wonderful program for working with PIXELS. Precise editing, zoomed-in, small bunches of pixels. It was the most widespread program for simple and somewhat high-quality work with pixellated objects, such as sprites for video games or webcomics. The added functionality and the ribbon itself are no problem. The very worst they could lead to is an hour or so of getting-used-to. It's the ELIMINATED functionality that makes people switch back. What comes across as more smooth, brushlike artwork to you comes across as a smudgy, sloppy, gradiated mess that makes it impossible to do what used to be so easy. The paintcan tool is completely useless now. Sure, you can do whole backgrounds or fill in MOST of something, but there'll still be little pixels of grey fading into white that you'd might as well have just used the brush on instead.

It didn't take as long as I thought at first either. In fact, my 11 year old was able to produce things with Windows 7 paint and the quality was 100 times better and it took him a lot less time.

It ruined Paint. Pixellated spritework was impossible. Thank you so much, after days of searching this was the closest thing to a solution I could find and it should work until Microsoft gets their act together.
