I currently edit the Registry to change the theme to the classic, but how do I apply those changes?
First, a question...Why are you editing the registry to change the theme? Is your code reliant on a specific theme?
What happens is the user picks whether they want classic or luna (or some other custom theme if their computer supports it). It saves this to a USB Drive. When they get to the next computer, if it's XP it loads all their colours, backgrounds, themes, etc.
I think you need to use desk.cpl and control.exe .
That just looks like displaying the promt for the users to input. I'd like to know the commands that the display applet uses to apply the new theme, I assume the write to the registry, and then make some obscure system call that I don't know. Of course, I could be wrong too.
