Is there more to this story? Did it stop working? Is this a new to you machine? Did you try another Admin account?
How can I make the Windows Classic theme "stick" so the machine will boot to that theme when I turn it on each day?
I'm trying to configure a hand-me-down VAIO VGN-N150P laptop that has Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600] already installed on it.
I'm an old guy, and the older I get the more resistant to change I become, so I'm trying to make XP look and behave like the old Windows GUIs in Win 98SE or Win 2K.
I've tried setting the Display Properties by right clicking on the desktop>Properties>Themes>Windows Classic>Apply>OK
This works for that session. But the next time I start the computer, the display revertsto the Windows XP theme.
Any ideas on how make the Windows Classic theme permanent?
