Time to learn how to use the Help that's built into Windows XP.


I would like to know how to how

to remove an old user profile off a "pass me down" computer.

Log in as an Administrator. Go to Control Panel > User Accounts and
delete any unwanted accounts.

Second I can't
change me theme to the XP theme I just have the Windows Classic theme as an
choice.

Are no other themes available in the Control Panel > Display dialog?

No, there is no other themes

Right click on My Computer/Properties/Advanced
tab/Performance/Settings/tick Let windows choose what's best for my
computer.

Now go and see if you have the XP theme.

Themes (Won't Load or only Windows Classic is listed)

Go to Start/Administrative Tools/Services/Themes. Set to Automatic. Also
check your settings here:

Start/Administrative Tools/Services/Terminal Services/Log On. At the bottom
ensure that Hardware Profile Original Configuration is Enabled.

If the above doesn't apply/nor help: Only windows Classic is listed under
Appearance:

1. Right click on the desktop and choose Properties.
2. On the Theme tab, choose the Windows XP.
3. If this option is missing, you may choose Browse... to
C:\Windows\Resources\Themes\Luna.theme
4. The Luna.theme is the theme of the Windows XP.

I'm sorry I gave you the wrong tab, the problem is on the appearance tab of
the desktop properties it's the windows and buttons pull down menu

Log in as the admin, open Windows explorer and navigate to cC:\Documents and
Settings\%username%
(%username% being the pofile thast you want to get rid of )

You can delete it from there or simply rename the profile.

As far as the theme goes, it's a bit vague. The previous user may have
deleted the themes. Assuming that you have logged into the PC with a fresh
profile, you should see all available themes.

Good Luck
