Themes and Sounds?

trust me i no about uxtheme, b4 windows 2003 will let u select a theme it askes you to enable them, same with sounds. i know how to enable theme once its installed but i want it set that way so i dont have to turn them on every time i reistall windows.

thanks though

You may have to turn on the themes service (also set it as automatic)

Read the link that cluberti posted. It has everything that you need to turn on what you are looking for.

It tells you how to change 2003 from a server OS to a regular desktop OS.

I have used that exact same guide and I was amazed at how much information that it has in it, and how easy it was to do the things listed.
