HELP! Deleting WB went wrong... :(

from JoeUser Forums
I had to delete WB even though i did enjoy the programme as it was taking forever for my PC to load up. Having unistalled WB i was hoping that the XP original blue taskbar etc. would return; it hasn't... I would like to know how to get it back as the plain white menu's and taskbar look like they from a BBC Acorn from Communist Russia, in 1945!!! (they had them early)
Also i cannot unistall Bootskins, any ideas? Its not in my 'add/remove' list so im kinda stumped on that one.

Please help this lame ass

reinstall WB and then under my skins, set it back to windows default once applied wb won't run on startup or you can then uninstall again

With WB installed, right-click the WB system tray icon > unload WB (or use the unload WB option in WB config panel) > use Right-Click Desktop\Properties\Themes tab\Theme drop-down list to select Windows XP > click "Apply".

You will now be safe to uninstall WB.

Patch...my system seems to load faster with WB than it did with the XP default, so perhaps there was another cause and a fresh install of WB wouldn't be a problem.

As I understand it, WB uses less resources on start-up than the defaualt XP, and by disabling theme support in Administative tool>Services> themes, you might find it'll speed things up some. I fairly new at this myself, but have read this advice in articles and forum posts here.

Hope you can resolve this as it'd be a shame to miss the goodies WB can put on yer deskktop.
