I downloaded all of the theme's from Microsoft's website. They are saved as ".themepack" Where do I need to move them to in order for them to show up with the rest of the "Aero Theme's", instead of under "My theme's"?

Make sense?

Darn. I had them under Windows\Resources\Aero\ i believe......

I'll check with what you have.

Why can't I? Shouldn't it be just a matter of putting a file in a certain folder?

If you click on the themepack, they should install at ...

C:\Users\*yourname*\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Themes

That's where mine went anyway.
