So if you download a visual style for windows, where do you put it so that you can use it?

Like changing how the start bar looks. I used to have StyleXP which did it automatically but I uninstalled that.

Inside your **C:\Windows\Resources\Themes** folder. Make sure you patch your uxtheme.dll file first. You can find the patcher over at neowin: [http://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=140707](http://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=140707)

Once you have restarted your computer and placed your styles in the Themes folder, you can access the new styles using your Display Properties’s Appearance area.

Kril - I only found an interview that featured that style’s name: Exidge Gen1 VS, but I couldn’t find the actual file on any of the large skin/mod sites.

grinch - I have no idea about whether a patcher works/exists for Win2k Pro.

I already knew what the name was. I was a frequent visitor to their site a year or so back.

Anyhow, Aeon, the site owner emailed me back with a link to where he has it posted on his site. Its in a section you normally couldn’t find any links to, etc, so that explains why I couldn’t find it.
