Theme Change

[almulder]

Is there a way to change to a specified theme upon restart? I have my unattened DVD install several themes upon running. But it defaults to the Crystal XP. I have a prefered theme that overlaps with crystal xp, so I get the best of the both worlds.

Have been searching on the web, but unable to find any info an changing the theme upon restart. Dose anyone have any ideas of where to look?

Thanks for your help.

Winnt.sif

[shell]  DefaultStartPanelOff = Yes

  DefaultThemesOff = No

  CustomDefaultThemeFile = "%Windir%\Resources\Themes\GANT_OS_Blue.theme"

You can change the CustomDefaultThemeFile to the theme that is located.

I know how to set the default theme upon install but after installing 5 different ones, it overights what I told it to default to. I sets the last one as the default. I need it to be changed upon restart.

%SystemRoot%\system32\rundll32.exe %SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL %SystemRoot%\system32\desk.cpl desk,@Themes /Action:OpenTheme /file:"%1"

where %1 is your desired themefile

%SystemRoot%\system32\rundll32.exe %SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL %SystemRoot%\system32\desk.cpl desk,@Themes /Action:OpenTheme /file:"%1"

where %1 is your desired themefile

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Where exactly would you copy and paste this information into a reg file and if so which one?

@TheeBeets

I have a similar question. I can run that command-line and it opens up the display applet showing the desired theme. Is there a switch to have it automatically apply that theme?
