How do I install desktop themes for windows xp?

I have been trying to install desktop themes for my pc. So it's a zip folder I try to extract it but I don't know were to put it and after it's there I don't know how to install it. The last thing I did was save it on my desktop, so what can I do to install it. Please, can anyone help i've been here all morning trying to figure it out, and i'm also new to this.

yiou go to my com puter and then change a setting and then you wil see change themes and there you go
it should ask you if you want to install it!!
http://www.pcworld.com search the downloads for winzip a program to unlock and install zip files it isn't a free one but i have had it for 6 months and every time i use it it ask me to buy and I click ask me later and then it goes ahead and does its job.
According to microsoft's site : 1. Download the file by clicking the Download button (above) and saving the file to your hard disk. 2. Double-click the Nile_Theme_En.msi file on your hard disk to start the setup program. 3. Follow the instructions on the screen to complete the installation.
Unzip the zip one first using winzip or else right click of the zip file you will see extract the file. Click on that , it will ask the destination -- now give the destination path . It will unzip to the given destination. Now click the setup.exe file to install the themes. Now go the control panel from there you can go to appreance and themes --- change the theme and select the one you installed. That's it. Any doubts ping me at sundar_live@yahoo.com
usually in the start menu there is an option that says control panel click that and go to appearences and themes from there you should be able to do it
if you have your theme as theme file, you can do it in theme tab by right click you mouse on the desktop.
