Do you have Windows Themes disabled in services? Right click on "my computer" and select manage then look for services. Then scroll down to "themes" and see if it is started. If not, double click on it to get properites and see if it is enabled. Enable it and then start it. XP's default themes should now be installable.

Make sure you unload WB first, then use the Display Properties\Themes tab\Theme drop-down list to restore XP default theme.

If using IconPackager, you may need to reapply any icon package if you have one applied, as the default XP theme includes the default icons for "My Documents, My Computer, My Network Places, Internet Explorer, and Recycle Bin".

Just unload WB and do what Corky o say's, and that will fix it, but why did you buy WindowBlinds if you aren't going to use it? And if youu were just trying it out, uninstall it. I have Object Desktop and think it's the coolest thing on the net Theme XP sucks. Kidding. I have it to, I just never use it anymore.

WB usually has that theme already with it...should be on the list to the far left...
