Applying themes

[Achilles]

Hello all, I am trying to discretely apply themes in Windows 7 (64bit). So far I can apply the theme, but a "Personalization" window that pops up... anybody know how to do this without that window opening? (I realize I could just close it, but in an effort to be professional I would rather it just never show up.)

ShellExecute('C:\Users\<NAME>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Themes\Old Backgrounds.theme')

@SW_HIDE

@SW_HIDE

It doesn't work... at least not what I tried:

ShellExecute('C:\Users\<Name>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Themes\Old Backgrounds.theme', '', '', '', @SW_HIDE)

Edit: It still applies it, it just doesn't hide the window

Edit: I figured I'd try my alternative (just hide the window asap), and it actually works really well:

WinWait('Personalization')

WinClose('Personalization')
