Yes, you can go back to the default XP stuff. For example; if you're using LogonStudio, all you have to do is open the program, and click the "Restore default XP logon".

If you plan on uninstalling any of the programs, you have to make sure you revert "before" you uninstall the program(s).

Happy skinning!

Xman-

I'm far from a pro.... but, these programs are great and no you are not stuck with it once you use them.... you can go back to Windows XP themes anytime you want without having to uninstall etc..

These programs are very user friendly and work like a charm on XP. Have fun!

when you install WB it will add custom buttons to your display properties and a tab for themes, if you decide to restore your desktop back to windows standard or classic desktop, select it from the menu, it will automatically load WB and or theme manager, from there, go thru each program in the managers list restoreing each, some or all back to winxp.

Trust me...once you change your desktop with any of these programs...you won't want to change back.

And if you should try out the free programs first, and then decide to go with the full blown paid version...make sure you uninstall the free version "before" installing the paid version.
