Yes, if that is the default location in the new computer. On my XP and
VISTA computers the location is different. Before you copy the file, go
through the motions to save a modified theme on the target pc to find
its default location, then copy the file there.

Hi Joe,
Just to make sure that I understand you correctly, when I copy this new
theme to the other computer from the thumb drive, I paste it into the
custom folder in Documents & Settings/Mike folder/applications
data/microsoft/windows/themes/custom? Am I understanding you correctly?
Thank you very much for your advice and help regarding this issue. 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
