Desktop switched to "Classic" and can't switch back to XP

[Poot]

My Windows XP Pro desktop all of a sudden switched to
the "Classic" view and won't let me switch back to the XP
layout. I've tried setting the properties to "Best
Appearance" and changing the dislpay properties also with
no luck. What's the deal? I have an Athlon 2600+ with 1
gig of PC2700 RAM and a Geforce4 4200ti video card running
on an ASUS A7N8X Deluxe nforce2 mobo. I have all the
latest BIOS and driver updates installed.
