Nice one.
I used almost same code in Dark Rog theme installer.

Code: Select all rundll32.exe %SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL %SystemRoot%\system32\desk.cpl desk,@Themes /Action:OpenTheme /file:"C:\Windows\Resources\Themes\example.theme"

And you don't need steps 2 and 3 except for seeing what themes you have in Themes folder.

I know that steps 2 and 3 are not needed, but I still wanted to add those steps too in this tutorial for those who doesn't know that much about computers, and sometimes when you have a dozens themes there it's very hard to remember that one you would like to use, that's why steps 2 and 3 are sometimes important.
