Start Button image not displaying.

If your start button isn't changing, you might check this out.

Not sure if anyone knows, or even cares, but.. I couldnt get my Start button
to change its theme and after not finding any option that would resolve this
I had remembered I used a 'registry fix' to alter the Start name.

I had altered the registry key 'Shell' at:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ SOFTWARE\ Microsoft\ Windows NT\ CurrentVersion\ Winlogon\

from explorer.exe to explorernew.exe

Changing it back to explorer.exe and logging off/on resolved this.

(Note: With the registry fix altered, the start buttons with some themes were
altered in appearance, but never quite matched the theme picture. When theme
was applied the button would load to the correct theme, and then revert to
what was manually entered in explorernew.exe)

Just thought someone might have had a similar problem.
