I used the Windows XP theme with the "Windows XP Style" for "Windows
and Buttons".

I upgraded from SP1.

No custom themes at all.

No group policies.

In that folder I have:

"Luna.theme" and a folder called "Luna" containing "Luna.msstyles" and
yet another folder called "Shell" which holds the folders "Homestead",
"Metallic" and "NormalColor" which all contains a "shellstyle.dll"
file.

I was using the "Metallic" one before upgrading to SP2.

What can be keeping the "Windows XP Style" option from appearing in the
dropdown selector?

Thanks.
