Hi Rick, I did find the "Barbara.Theme" file in the custom folder. I do have the file copied to a thumb drive. When I open control panel/Display I haven't been able to find a browse dialogue using the applications key or through the file menu. Am I looking in the wrong place? With the file copied to the thumb drive and when I get to the other computer, do I paste into that same custom folder or into the save selection in the Themes page in Control Panel/Display? Thank you very much for all of your help, it is greatly appreciated. Take care. Mike

If you change a theme, and do not choose to save it with another name, you should be able to find it in the following location: c:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Application Data\Microsoft\Windows\Themes\Custom.Theme Note: On your system, you may need to replace, "Owner", with your name. To transfer the theme to another computer, simply copy it to the other machine, then go back to the control panel, and then the themes tab of the display properties. There you should have an option of importing a theme, and the ability to browse to the folder where you copied it. If you have any problems, I'll hook up with you later. HTH, Richard Q.

I believe that somehow I was able to copy it and it is in My Documents listed as "Barbara.Theme". Is "Theme" the correct file extension for a theme file? If not what file extension do theme files use? Where exactly are theme files stored? I have looked in the Windows folder on the C Drive and don't see anything with a "theme" extension. I haven't been able to find any way of exporting this file so, this is why I'm trying to copy & paste so we can take this theme file to another computer. Jacob, you had mentioned that opening this theme file in Windows Explorer would allow us to move this file. I don't understand what you mean by opening with Windows Explorer. Would you please explain in detail? All help is greatly appreciated. Thanks much, take care.
