Resolved changed tool bar appearance

Hi

The directions for the required solution came 4 hours ago from broni Malware Analyst in the link http://www.geekstogo.com/forum/topic...st__p__1550809.

The theme for the theme for the Windows XP (Home Edition) Operating System was changed as follows:
1. Right click a vacant space on the desk top
2. Click on Properties from the pop-up menu that appears
3. The Display Properties window appears open on the required tab, "˜Themes’
4. In the text field under Themes at the top of this window select "˜Windows Classic’ option from the choices shown by clicking on the downward arrow
5. In my case, the Theme was changed from "˜Windows XP’ to "˜Windows Classic’

Thanks very much for your most kind help.
