Sorry to break up your discussion on Windows 7. I am enjoying it greatly! But I have run in to a little problem.

I have noticed that when I open My Documents, My Computer and other system folders the blue stripe down the left side is missing. It really looks kind of blah being all white with black text. Is there a way to get it back to blue again? I can not seem to find it in Display Properties / Appearance.

I know one of you will have the answer but I can not seem to come up with it myself.

Show common tasks button is checked. The color is also missing in the Control Panel and when I switch to to Category View the icons are on a white page instaed of a blue page.

Everything is looking as it should again. I had to restore the Luna Theme files that I ran from Here #187 on the right hand side.

I figured out what had happened. I was running BricoPack Vista Inspirat for awhile and then I uninstalled it. After the uninstall, it left a few files and folders behind and I was cleaning out these leftover files and I got a little carried away with what I was cleaning out and deleted a few too many files and screwed up my Themes folder in C:\ WINDOWS\Resources. So I had to replace my Themes folder. Lucky for me they were only Theme files or I would be probably reinstalling XP again.

"Live, Learn and Reinstall" as I always say.

Thanks for your help TD.
