Changing back from classic theme

[r2weaver]

When I first installed Windows XP Pro, I switched the
interface to the Windows Classic theme, including the
Desktop appearance, Start menu and Taskbar.

Now I want to go back to the XP look but I can't seem to
figure out how. When I right-click the Desktop and choose
Properties, on the Themes tab, I click the drop-down arrow
and the only items are

Windows Classic (Modified)
Oxtober2003
My Current Theme
Windows Classic
More themes online...
Browse...

There is no "Windows XP" choice or anything like that.

I can change my Start menu back to the Xp look, but how do
I get the Desktop back?

Thanks for any help you can offer.
