I have a computer running Windows XP Home, that I want to switch from
Windows Classic theme to Windows XP theme... However, Windows XP is
missing from the themes list... Have any of you experienced this, or
do any of you know of a way to get the windows xp themes back?

1. Right click on the desktop and choose Properties.
2. On the Theme tab, choose the Windows XP.
3. If this option is missing, you may choose Browse... to
C:\Windows\Resources\Themes\Luna.theme
4. The Luna.theme is the theme of the Windows XP.

If Luna.theme is missing: Go to Start/Run/Msconfig/Expand Files:
Luna.MS_ and Luna.TH_

Thanks... I wasn't sure where the theme files were located, and this
put me on the right track... It looks like the Themes service was
actually disabled on this pc, and was causing no themes to be
displayed on the drop-down menu, except for the current theme. I
started the service, and it worked like a charm.

Thanks again.
