We all use different 3rd party themes in our Windows operating system in order to change the look of our Windows XP, Windows Vista or Windows 7. But Windows doesn't allow 3rd party themes to be used perfectly by default and you'll need to patch following 3 Windows system files to able to use 3rd party themes in Windows XP, Vista or 7
