Default Windows XP theme deleted

[p E E]

Just today, I logged into my computer, and it was gone. All I have now is the white-colored windows classic theme, and I can't change it.

Is there a way to re-install the default themes? HELP PLEASE

That's a simple process of either right clicking on the desktop for the display properties there(much faster) or going into the Control Panel to change the display settings there with setting the background, going into the Appearances tab and advanced button there for desktop color, 3D objects, and other things from a dropdown menu.

Once you have the appearance, 3D objects, and the rest where you want them go into "themes" and click the save theme button to enter a name like "default" and click the save button. You then can log off without a full restart and see if the "saving desktop settings" message appears.

Where the Windows Classic letters end that should have a dropdown list to choose between XP theme, modified, or any thing else if that is working. Vista is a little different now while still seeing that option when set in the classic Windows format. The image at the link here shows how that looks. http://img385.imageshack.us/my.php?image=settingthemesrw4.jpg
