Hi..

I just upgraded from Vista to Windows 7

Presently every single time I open a new windows explorer folder, Windows 7 repeatedly changes my theme's window colour from the default "sky" to a black colour..

This only happens when opening a window shell but is fine (doesn't change the "sky"/Windows 7 theme) otherwise if I launch an application like notepad...

Would anyone have any idea what is causing it or how I can fix it?

I'm thinking that being able to "repair" the shell might help, except that I am not quite sure how to go about doing it.

Any advise would be greatly appreciated!

Windows Update: - Check for Windows updates as Microsoft may have released patches to address theme-related issues. 7. Create a New User Account: - Create a new user account and test if the issue persists. This can help determine if the problem is user-specific or system-wide. 8. Restore to Default Settings: - Consider restoring default settings for Windows themes if all else fails. This can be done through the Control Panel or "Advanced system settings." By following these steps, you should be able to diagnose and resolve the issue with Windows 7 changing the theme's window color unexpectedly.
