    Do you have to "run as" Administrator?

    Dunno. But: I extracted 101.xml from themeui.cpl.dll, and if I copy the applet to the run box, I can access and change the desktop settings. Also, regsvr32 can't find the entry point for themeui, even in a "restored from previous version" copy.

    Go figure.

    It sounds like something went missing during the re-install.

    Yeah. My sanity. My workaround: I copied the commands from the XML file and created shortcuts, which I've placed in the admin tools shortcut folder on the start menu. So I can access most functions, but not the "customize desktop icons" applet.

    Every other posting I've seen on the subject has to do with a problem with nVidia drivers, but mine's a Mobile Intel chipset driver.

    Gee, that is a weird problem... are there newer drivers that you can install? or perhaps different O/S versions like XP or Server2003?

    The reinstall fixed it.
