[Changing Theme]

How to change inbuilt theme in Windows 7 with out showing any UI to the user.

To answer the OP's question. (without railroading him)

Try a group policy to push a theme silently.

or try some of the other settings in the personalization folder (inside GPEDIT)

FYI, if you are not on a domain, this can be done via the registry as well

For me the system will not be in domain. Please let me know which registry i need to edit to change the theme

does anyone know how to do this.
