    Default Appearance of Vista

    Yonks ago, I used this screen to change my computer to 'best performance'.

    The result was a more basic appearance with none of the flashy colours. I have also used "Vista Manager" to tweak the performance. For a reason I won't bore you with, I want to revert to the original Vista appearance but now find that I can't. Does anyone know how to do this?
    Many thanks.

    Would simply applying a new Theme again not do the job? Never having used Vista Manager, is there an option to take a backup before you tweak (and you took that option :-))?
    Kind regards,

    The only Theme options are 'Windows Classic', 'My Current Theme' and 'Browse'. Browse just lets you navigate all the usual folders. Would the Vista Theme be in one of them??

    On the system here the themes are stored under C:\windows\resources\themes and the Vista one is called Aero.theme. If you select the Browse button then you should be able to use it.
