New Theme

I would like to put a new theme on my vista machine, however i do not know how to? The files I screw up on are shell32.dll in system32 and the theme files under windows/resources/themes. I would like to know how to change these files safely. Thank You for all responses. All other files i know how to do.

Here are the files that i want to put: http://rapidshare.com/files/73585313...l_by_shanu.rar

Re: New Theme

Sorry for double posting but i really want to put this theme and have no idea on doing this and i kepp having to do system restore because i keep messing up. If you think the files are a virus, they are not however you dont have to download them, i really just want to know how to change the shell32 and theme. I provided you with the them to give you a better understanding of what i am trying to do plus you can use them too.

Re: New Theme

Themes from HS sites like that one are a good source of trojans and spyware . .

Re: New Theme

You dont have to download it but all i want to know is how to put this new theme in. If i was trying to send you a virus, why would I go to all this trouble to get answers on this problem.

Re: New Theme

I did not say you were trying to send a virus . . I said that you are very likely to get more than you bargan for when you download system files from sites like that one. Sorry, but I cannot help with installing them . . I never mess with that
