While employed as a designer at my last job I changed my workstation Windows XP Pro to look like Win 98. Now my former boss can't get it to revert back. He has repeatedly tried to change it back, but when the appropriate box is checked nothing happens. Right clicking on the start menu/ left clicking on properties/ left clicking on the undo look like Win 98 box does nothing.

What can be done to remedy this situation?? Is this problem because his workstation is set as the administrators? The workstations are running on a pier to pier network and both running XP Pro on Dell machines. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Check to see that "Themes" is set to automatically start in services.
