1. How can I put some themes onto the cd and have windows boot up with what ever one of those themes I choose?

2. And how can this be down with icons, shell32.dll, during the install.

Gracias!

Using something similar to what's shown on the UXTheme page, you can use those commands to copy your visual style theme files into C:\Windows\Resources\Themes\ (you will need to use MD first to make a directory for the custom theme name). Same goes for shell32.dll and msgina.dll and any other types.

You can set the default theme from:

[shell]

CustomDefaultThemeFile = "%WinDir%\Resources\Themes\MyTheme.theme"

But I haven't tested to see if it works with msstyles files.

I'm sorry AaronXP what is MD?

MD is a DOS command, short for Make Directory.

MD MyThemes will create a directory called MyThemes

So would that be

ECHO.

ECHO Creating folders

ECHO Please wait...

MD MyIcons

ECHO.

Would that make a folder in C:/ so C:/MyIcons

If I wanted it in my WINDOWS how would I do that?

Use a full path:

MD C:\MyIcons

If you wanted files to be copied over to the WINDOWS directory, put the files in $OEM$\$$\

$$ = WINDOWS

$$\System32\ = WINDOWS\System32\

and so on.
