Set Default Theme

[MGadAllah]

Dear All:

I've modified windows xp theme the way I like and will install it using .sfx with %WINDIR%\Resources\Themes\

I want to know how to make it the default one instead of luna!?

I do not want to rename my theme to luna because I wan to keep luna theme

How to set my theme as the default one

Thanks

If you rename/overwrite it you will still have it, just that you will have to select it as a VS from the Apearance tab, you will not have the Theme option under the Themes tab is all

If you use $OEM$ folders, put it there and set it in your WINNT.SIF.
