I can not change my computer theme. I click on control panel, and go to
themes, but when I click it, nothing happens. I want to put all changes made
to computer back to the default. How do I do this???
 
Go to Start > Run and type: SERVICES.MSC , and hit enter.
Scroll down to "Themes", right-click on it and select Properties.
Then select startup type as "Automatic" and click on "Start".

I'm experiencing the same problem as Michelle. I've tried the "SERVICES.MSC"
, system restore and downloaded "Luna" theme from the same web site listed
below, no. 187. However, all these methods doesnt work at all. Carey, what am
I supposed to do after I go to this web site
"http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm" and scroll down to Item No.
271 "Stuck in Classic View? - Undo Now" ? It links to another page where
there are no instructions or links at all. Below is the information stated in
that page.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
"NoSimpleStartMenu"=dword:00000000

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
"ForceClassicControlPanel"=dword:00000000

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]
"LogonType"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced]
"WebView"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
"ClassicShell"=dword:00000000

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
"NoSaveSettings"=dword:00000000

Please help as this is getting frustrated!
