Q. How can I install the new Energy Blue display theme that's available for Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 (XP MCE) 2005 and Windows XP Tablet PC Edition 2005 on a standard Windows XP machine?

Open the downloaded windowsxp-tabletpc-energybluetheme-x86-enu.exe file in WinZip (or another program that can extract files from a packaged executable) and extract its content to a local folder--for example, C:tempbliss.

Create the following folders under the C:windowsresourcesthemes folder:royale
royaleshell
royaleshellhomestead
royaleshellmetallic
royaleshellormalcolor
royaleshellroyale
royalewallpaper

Copy the royale.theme file that you extracted into the main C:windowsresourcethemes folder.

Copy the royale.msstyles file into the royale subfolder.

Copy the shellstyle.dll file into each of the shell subfolders (royaleshellhomestead, royaleshellmetallic, royaleshellormalcolor, royaleshellroyale).

Copy the energybliss.jpg file into the royalewallpaper subfolder.
