What is CAB file?
CAB (CAB) is a file extension used in Windows operating systems, originally for storing installation and other executable files. It was introduced with Microsoft Windows 95 and is still used in all generations of Windows. A CAB file consists of several files compressed into a single archive, usually internally structured in folders numbered from 0 to 15. These numbers generally stand for various flags and options used by Microsoft Installer. [ ⏩ ] CAB file extension

Software, that you can use to convert
How to convert the file from CAB to DESKTHEMEPACK?
To successfully convert the CAB file to DESKTHEMEPACK, you should install one of the applications from the list. After installing the software, open the program and select the file you want to convert (file-name.CAB). The next step is to select the target format from the list, in this case DESKTHEMEPACK (usually converters allow you to convert to several different formats, so check out their features - maybe one of the available formats will suit you more than DESKTHEMEPACK).
What is a file conversion?
A data conversion is normally an automated process to some extent. The effect of the operation of one program is automatically the input product of another application. If that does not happen we need to help the process a little bit and convert the file on our own, e.g. CAB to DESKTHEMEPACK. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.
Program for converting CAB files to DESKTHEMEPACK files is a kind of a "binary code translator" compensating for the differences in the code or translating it in such a way so that another application could use it. For us, as users, the visible change will be only another file extension. (After converting the file, it will be the extension DESKTHEMEPACK, while before this step we had the CAB file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new DESKTHEMEPACK file, or not.
