Hello,

First of all thanks for visiting my folder.

I know the default windows xp theme is quite boring .. so you would like to have a new look for your box .. no prob ..

Windows XP only allows digitally signed themes to be installed by default .. but to use custom 3rd party visual styles, all you have to do is to patch the uxtheme.dll present in the windows\system32 folder .. 

So patch uxtheme.dll safely use the NeoWin UxTheme MultiPatcher .. you can either use the patcher I have uploaded here ... NeoWin_UxTheme_MultiPatcher or you can google to download the latest version of the same..

Once you have the patcher with you .. unpack it and run it .. after a while it will say patching has been done .. and you have to wait for windows file protection dialog box to popup saying .. There are some unrecognised version of files, do you want to replace them with the original files .. Dont Panic at this moment just hit the Cancel button then again a warning click on Yes .. and you can restart you box..

Now when you have patched your uxtheme.dll .. its time to download the visual styles .. download the zip/rar file to any folder of your choice .. unpack it and copy the content and place it inside .. the C:\Windows\Resources\Themes folder .. if you have windows installed in the C: Drive else change the drive letter accordingly ..

Now you have successfully installed the visual style .. now Right click on your desktop .. goto Appearance Tab and from the Drop down list select the Visual Style name and click on Apply/OK ..

You'r Done .. enjoy the new look ..
