Adding files

Featured Replies

Ok so I made a xp sp2 disk with nlite everything worked great but I want to add some wallpapers/themes/user pic and so on but do not know how

So lets start off with themes I did add a few themes with nlite but what I didnt like was it only put the msstyless/shell/font files and not the .theme files, so the files are there but have to go C:\WINDOWS\Resources\Themes\whatevertheme and double click on them. So how do I put the .theme files on the disk then when installing or on the first boot up have them moved off the disk and into C:\WINDOWS\Resources\Themes\.

Next wallpapers need to go to C:\WINDOWS\Web\Wallpaper

Last user pics need to go to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\User Account Pictures\Default Pictures

This is the first time for me so I need detailed help Thanks

One more thing does any one know if you add just the .theme files in nlite if it adds the rest of the files like msstyles/shell/font files cause I added the msstyles files in nlite and everything but the .theme file was there so maybe if I just add the .theme file instead that would fix my problem... so anyone know

here is how i handle themes and user pics
