Windows XP Tweaks

With this tweak you will be able to modify which color selection of the default theme is shown when the computer start up screen is displayed.  Currently since there is only one theme you can only change the color scheme for the theme but in the future when more themes are available for XP you will be able to change which theme is used in the same place in the windows registry.

1. Start regedit,
2. Navigate to HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ThemeManager
3. Locate the key ColorName
4. Right Click on it and select modify.
5. Change where it says “NormalColor” to “Metallic”
6. Click Ok, and exit regedit
7. Restart

Note: To go back to the old color scheme durring startup just change “Metallic” back to “NormalColor”  Once more themes are released you will be able to modify the DllName key to select different themes.
