That article is helpful. I now have my .theme created. Is there a way to
have this auto installed at login instead of having the user load it. I am on
a domain and have a script run as each user logs, if I could add it there
that would be great. This was the original problem, when a new user logs in
it always defaults to the luna theme but I would like to have it set to my
custome theme? Or is there a way to have windows 2000 server force it down?
Not sure if that is possible.

Thanks,
Mike
