I run XP Home and switched from the initial 'XP Home look'
to 'Windows Classic Style' but now want to switch back.

When I right click the desktop, go to the 'Appearance' tab
only 'Windows Classic style' is offered in the drop down
menu under 'Windows and buttons'.

Under 'Color scheme' there are a number of choices (which
include 'Windows Standard' and 'Windows Classic') but
there is nothing available that suggests it is for XP. I
changed to 'Windows Standard' from 'Windows Classic'.

Under the 'Desktop' tab I have set the 'Background' to
Windows XP.

In 'Task Bar/Start Menu' I've changed from 'Classic Start
Menu' to 'Start Menu'.

After a re-start I notice that the Taskbar still seems to
have a Classic look to it.

Is there some way to get back to the settings and
appearance of the initial XP Home installation?

Thanks
Bill
 
Hey bill,

Did you change the setting under the themes tab ?
