Wherever you want. There should be a *.msstyles file in the package. Just double click it to use the theme.

I remember reading somewhere that Windows XP doesnt allow you to install the *.msstyle files without first patching a dll-file. I cant remember which one, but a google search might clear that up for you :lol:

You are right. You have to patch the uxtheme.dll

How is it with system resources? Any more than the regular XP style?

I didn't notice a difference in performance or memory consumption.
