Have you installed the patch and then restarted your computer?

That's been around for a few years now at least since SP 2 came out.

Well, I knew about I, just never liked and I think it's really good now. So I added the best theme I could find.

EDIT: Howcome it's become un-stickied?

yes I did do all the patch stuff

So, You've downloaded the patch, installed that and restarted, then.

You download the .mmstyle theme, and go through all the files untill you find the theme, it's a yellow and green icon.

Copy this and put it on your desktop, Double click it.

Once the theme is applied, don't delete it, you will still need it, but you can move it from your dektop to a folder somewhere or something.

Did you get it working?

I'm still trying to find out how to change the shutdown menu back to the default XP look. Here you see an emerald green square with the three buttons for loggin off, shutting down, or restarting the system. Plus there's a circular icon seen in explorer windows.

Kornowski · 03-27-2007, 07:44 AM

Is that from using one of the themes here?

That was a leftover from the Vista transformation pack tried earlier. Eventually I will get into the registry to restore items there. Even the desktop icons still have the Vista look as you can see from the screen capture here when the sidebar was used. The MyComputer, Control Panel shortcut, Outlook Express, IE 7, and a few others still see that as well as a circular icon that spins when you have an explorer window open.
