I had a virus that appears to have altered my task menu, and now I can't get
the old one back. It has changed to classic view (along with open windows),
but I liked the XP themes. I tried changing the properties of the task menu,
but it stays the same. How can I get the XP theme back??
 
Make sure that the Themes service is started and running. Click Start/Run
and type Services.msc

Double-click Themes
Set it's startup mode to Automatic
Start the service manually.

-and/or-

Right-click an empty area of the desktop, and then click Properties
In the Themes tab, select Windows XP
Click OK
 
I tried both; neither worked. What I really want is the task menu to have the
XP theme (blue and 'bubble' look).
 
never mind--system crashed and I had to reinstall windows and now its back.
The XP theme for appearance had been missing, but I've got it now. Thank you
for your help.
