Hi Dave & Joe,
I finally got it figured out. It doesn't matter where I pasted .theme file,
just press enter and it automatically goes to the Display properties, puts
the new file in the list, and you go to okay, press enter and the new file
is entered into the theme's list. Thanks again, for all of your help. Take
care.
Mike

After playing with this I can pass along the following observations.
1. whenever you modify a theme, a save button appears on the theme page of
the display dialog. Pressing the save button brings up a typical file save
dialog so you can note where your themes are being saved by default. You
can, of course, change the location but it is more convenient to keep the
default location.
2. .theme is indeed the correct file extension
3. After you copy your theme to the new computer's default location, just
click on the file name. On both my XP and my VISTA computers, clicking the
file opens the display dialog and puts the file name in the name field of
the theme page. All you need to do then is click the OK button and the new
theme is applied.
Hope this helps.

Subject: Exporting/Copying a Theme
Hi All,
We have created a theme in control panel/display/theme page. I believe
that somehow I was able to copy it and it is in My Documents listed as
"Barbara.Theme". Is "Theme" the correct file extension for a theme file?
If not what file extension do theme files use? Where exactly are theme
files stored? I have looked in the Windows folder on the C Drive and don't
see anything with a "theme" extension. I haven't been able to find any way
of exporting this file so, this is why I'm trying to copy & paste so we can
take this theme file to another computer. Someone had mentioned that
opening this theme file in Windows Explorer would allow us to move this
file. I don't understand what they meant by opening with Windows Explorer.
Could someone please explain in detail what this means? All help is greatly
appreciated. Thanks much, take care.
Mike
