"Windows XP Style" disappeared
My computer turned off (electricity problem), and when restarted, my windows
went back to the old "classic" style. I tried to change it under "display properties/appearance", but the option "Windows XP style" disappeared from there as well! The only option there now is "Windows Classic style". Any ideas?

No change. This only affects the arrangements of items in the menu, not the
graphical appearance of the taskbar, windows etc. "Keith AH" wrote: TRy right clicking on the start button going to properties Bullet start menu "mendel72" wrote in message ...

"Restore Luna Theme" (on the right side of line 187) did the trick.

Hi,
the link http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm was of great help to me also! I had exactly the same problem and, again, "restore luna theme" did the trick. I only want to add (for the lost user, like me) that the file "Resources.zip" has to be extracted to the c:\windows folder and then the "Windows XP Style" option is back again. Thanks again for the great tip! "Wesley Vogel" wrote: Glad to hear it. Keep having fun. :-) -- Hope this helps. Let us know.
