I still have some windows themes left over from my win98 system. Can I use these in XP somehow? I can't find xp versions of them. They're mainly arcade themes (Berzerk, etc). :)

(If 98 uses a different extension, change it to theme before you start.)
You can double click on the file. This also works on *.msstyle. OR...

Settings (Control Panel)

Display

Themes tab

click the down arrow on the Theme box.

select Browse... at the bottom

browse to where the *.Theme filles are.


Of course I don't know it it will work!

Or use the Desktop tab. There you can select the wallpaper, or browse to it. select Customize Desktop... There you can change the standard desktop icons.
