When I go to properties/themes it does let me select XP for a theme, but it
only changes the backround. It wont changes the windowd or buttons style.
Also when I go to properties/appearance the only selection in the windows and
buttons box is windows classic. It doesn't even list XP style as an option. I
tried goin to http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm and downloaded
sevral different lines ( 187, 214 , and 271) and ran them but still no luck.

Type Services.msc in Start-Run dialog
Double-click Themes
Set the Startup type to "Automatic"
Start the service

Insert your Windows XP CD
Type CMD in Start, Run and press Enter
Type:

EXPAND X:\I386\LUNA.MS_ C:\WINDOWS\Resources\Themes\Luna\LUNA.MSSTYLES

Where X:\ is the CD-ROM drive-letter.
