Double backslash confusion

[Octopuss]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\WIM_Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Themes]
"InstallTheme"="%SystemRoot%\\resources\\Themes\\AeroNoBackground.theme"

This is correct, rigt? Double backslash only for disk paths.

I think so. Its is an escape character probably because reg.exe is not smart enough to determine the difference between physical (disk) paths and registry paths.

Yes, that's correct as for a double backslash.

I would use a Reg_Expand_SZ at a %SystemRoot% entry.

The reading application has to support this too.

However, does this relate to installing a theme? http://www.wincert.net/forum/topic/9658-themes-how-do-you-do-it/

That's another question. I don't know.

Desk.cpl seems to install a theme.

OT was Double backslash but now we went rampant on themes.

Think this OT was solved here:

I don't doubt %ResourceDir%. I doubt the type Reg_SZ.

me three

I use a self created themepack and it does all I need
