Removing an unwanted "Theme" from Win 2000

During a recent equipment upgrade my company issued me a
newer latop loaded with Windows 2000.
This replaced my older unit which ran Windows 98.
Almost instantly, one of my kids got on this new machine,
and loaded a "Three Stooges Theme" onto it.
While I do enjoy the Stooges, having them yuk yuking
during board meetings is becoming a problem.
And I do not know how to get rid of it or turn it off.
Under Win 98 I had "Plus Themes", and I knew how to do it.
Can anyone drop me a note and give me a little guidance?
Thanks-
 
It seems it sets up a new desktop wall paper (which you can change from
"Control Panel" - > "Display"), new mouse cursors (on CP- >
"Mouse" ->"Pointers"->"Scheme"->"Windows Default (system scheme)"), a new
screen saver (again "Display"->"Screen Saver", you might choose none or any
other), new color scheme (again "Display"->"Appearance"->"Scheme"->"Windows
Standard").
I didn't knew about themes for 2000 until this day, I was wrong:
http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,4149,572388,00.asp
they are, but undocumented or so..."Start"->"Run" and type "themes". You
may choose another theme only if you have something like this installed, so
no big help anyway (My PC has no theme installed, so this tool can't help if
you didn't save your old theme.)

Can't believe this:). I'm running 2000 from 1999 and I haven't knew!
