Default I created a custom XML color scheme. How do I add that to the Built-in Color?

Like in title. I have created a custom Color scheme and would like to add this to the Built-in options under Color in the Design Tab. I have added the XML file to both C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Document Themes 14\Theme Colors and C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates\D ocument Themes\Theme Colors

This has done nothing to any PowerPoint documents. The only way I can add Custom colors in, is through PowerPoint directly creating the theme. Is there anyway I could get this XML to show up by default on every load of the software?

Assuming the XML is correct you should be able to see them (and choose them) in Design Tab > Colors

They should appear in the Custom Section.

This does not happen. I have confirmed that the XML is correct and only loads if I manually load into Powerpoint on each instance of the program.

So - just to check. Does your XML look like this:

Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<a:clrScheme xmlns:a="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/drawingml/2006/main" name="myColors">
  <a:dk1>
    <a:sysClr val="windowText" lastClr="000000"/>
  </a:dk1>
  <a:lt1>
    <a:sysClr val="window" lastClr="FFFFFF"/>
  </a:lt1>
  <a:dk2>
    <a:srgbClr val="1F497D"/>
  </a:dk2>
  <a:lt2>
    <a:srgbClr val="EEECE1"/>
  </a:lt2>
  <a:accent1>
    <a:srgbClr val="4F81BD"/>
  </a:accent1>
  <a:accent2>
    <a:srgbClr val="C0504D"/>
  </a:accent2>
  <a:accent3>
    <a:srgbClr val="9BBB59"/>
  </a:accent3>
  <a:accent4>
    <a:srgbClr val="8064A2"/>
  </a:accent4>
  <a:accent5>
    <a:srgbClr val="4BACC6"/>
  </a:accent5>
  <a:accent6>
    <a:srgbClr val="F79646"/>
  </a:accent6>
  <a:hlink>
    <a:srgbClr val="0000FF"/>
  </a:hlink>
  <a:folHlink>
    <a:srgbClr val="800080"/>
  </a:folHlink>
</a:clrScheme>

It's not correct. You must add the schema if you want PPT to recognise it. "http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/drawingml/2006/main"

Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<a:clrScheme xmlns:a="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/drawingml/2006/main" name="xxx">
  <a:dk1>
    <a:srgbClr val="E10000"/>
  </a:dk1>
  <a:lt1>
    <a:srgbClr val="2C414D"/>
  </a:lt1>
  <a:dk2>
    <a:srgbClr val="675E47"/>
  </a:dk2>
  <a:lt2>
