Right click on an empty space on your desktop, then choose Properties from the list.
On the Themes tab, browse to the location where you saved your theme. Then click Apply then OK. And make sure you have decent backups of your Data...some theme programs have been known to cause havoc...i hav olredy try that but it doesnt appear when i apply my saved themes..i hav downloaded many themes but they do not work..i hav search on the internet and they said that i need to install the uxthmeme.exe which is not recognized by microsoft as i install it..then they also told me that microsoft does not allow users to simple change themes when it is from microsoft..tnxWhy dont you give this a try. Just be careful though...

1. Start / Run / Services.msc / OK.

2. Right-click the Themes service and press Properties.

3. Select the General tab.

4. TOGGLE the Startup type to Automatic.

5. Press Apply.

6. Press the Start button.

7. Press OK.

8. Exit the Services dialog.

I have installed the uxtheme.exe.

Just create a system restore point & install the uxtheme.exe patch, ignore the microsoft messages.

You will then need to restart windows before TRYING to install your new theme.

If you want a black Vista theme for xp, i suggest the one i am using, very easy to install (automatic install)
