Windows not preserving Desktop theme settings?

[Tom H]

Every time I reboot, Win XP reverts back to what appears to be the default
Desktop Theme. Does anyone know what I must be doing wrong?

TIA

i think it might be this. possibly, no guarantees or anything.

open services, (start - run - type services.msc), should be one called
themes and it should be set to automatic and started. that may be it.

once upon a time i "accidentally" unchecked all the services listed in
msconfig, (which made my desktop look win95ish), themes, as the name
suggests, does your window themes...
