Line 214 of Kelly's tweaks page has a reg file to fix the problem.

Here is a direct link:
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/regs_edits/visualstylefix.reg

Download the file to your desktop and open it. When it asks are you sure you
want to add the information to the registry,click yes.

Nope--there is a bug that disables the XP theme at times.
The regfile fixes it.

Geez, a tad complicated compared to just giving him the
answer, don't you think? Anyways Astroluc, what you
should do, is open My Computer, and browse to
C:\WINDOWS\Resources\Themes and click Luna.msstyles (or
Luna.mss). A display properties window should open up,
and it will appear that you have simply changed it back
the normal way.

Thanks, Larry. ) This is the third one in this list that asks the same
question. Did CDO make a change to where links aren't being listed or
clickable?

I don't know if they have made any changes to the CDO interface,but there
seems to be a lot of people missing info when links are posted.
