====================================================
Setup Design:
====================================================
1. regsvr32 /i themeui.dll will put the prefered .theme and .mstheme files for profiles into
   HKLM,Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Themes,InstallTheme & InstallVisualStyle
   This will be based on policies.  It will also call a uxtheme API to give it a chance to register.

   Setup will specify the following default values for the machine:
   x86 Personal: Consumer.theme & Consumer.mstheme
   x86 Professional: Professional.theme & Professional.mstheme
   Other: None

2. WinLogon will then call "themeui!DllInstall(TRUE, "/UserInstall")" per user login for the first time.
   This will happen for new and upgrade users.

3. If the user login:
    a. isn't roaming
    b. doesn't have the high contrast SPI_GETHIGHCONTRAST bit set.
    c. the login isn't safe mode

    Then the default theme/visual style will be installed for the local user.

4. The one exception is that the background will not be set if the user already has one specified.

\nt\ds\security\gina\winlogon\

\nt\ds\security\gina\msgina\thememanager.cpp
CThemeManager::Entry()
    calls uxtheme!InitUserTheme()





====================================================
Cleanup Todo:
====================================================
If I have time for clean up, this is what I would do:
1. Remove plustab.dll from the product since it should no longer be used.


1. Have Adv Dlg scale values so the fonts fit in them.
