Aqua-Soft Forumshey folks, just wanted to let you know that when i installed these windows updates, it brought the ugly yellow folders and original windows icons back to my system. i somehow had my updates set on automatic, so it did it on it's own...
Security Update for Windows XP (KB810217)
Update Rollup 1 for Microsoft Windows XP (KB826939)
i'm assuming it was the 2nd one... i'm trying to install the security update on it's own now... but since that rollup is a big package update, i don't even know which one of the 20 or so updates it includes did it...
