JS,

How do I clean the registry if the reinstall didn't do this...short of reformatting hard drive and reinstalling everything...I am having a hard time believing the stupid xp theme issue is this hard to resolve.

I am starting to understand why so many people hate Microsoft...putting products like this out will ensure that kind of response. I have always been a big supporter of Microsoft, but that is changing due to this stupid theme issue.

Regards.
