You should be able to go into display properties and select Windows Classic as the theme. Right click on Desktop Select Properties On Theme tab select Windows Classic and then click apply.
If you have customized the Windows Classic theme and saved as Windows Classic, then you will need to edit the registry to remove those customizations. If this is the case, reply to this solution and I will research and let you know where to make the changes. Beware that incorrectly modifying the registry can cause the system to not boot or have other problems.
copy the thyemes in the
windows >> resources folder
and also install the latest version of uxtheme patcher
now right click on the desktop go to properties and select the new theme which will be there in the list of themes
Right click on the desktop anywhere that there are no icons. Click on 'Properties' at the bottom of the menu that will have appeared. By default you will be at the window to set your theme. In the Theme field, click on the dropdown button at the right side of the field and select the Windows XP theme. Click apply and then OK to close the window.
Good luck, and please let me know how this works out for you.
This happened to me once on my other computer, I don't know what caused it, maybe service pack 2 that I installed but I don't know. Anyway i just rebooted and then the themes were back and I could change it again.
