i was able to get a theme installed but i have to select to use it in the appearance tab of the desktop settings. how can i just tell xp to use it when it installs? i followed the method in the UA guide.

Have a copy of the .theme file in $OEM$\$$\Resources\Themes, then make sure that you have the following property in the [Shell] section of winnt.sif:

CustomDefaultThemeFile = "%WINDIR%\Resources\Themes\MyTheme.theme"

If you put the background image in the %WINDIR%\Resources\Themes folder, and then make the .theme file and save it in the same place, then it usually works for the background among other things.
