Default Login Screen Problem

Ok, this been bugging me lately.

First, a few months ago I installed Style XP. I had the Xbox theme up for a while, and for some dumb reason I thought this "green reactor" login would look.. cool. Well, before I knew it, it uninstalled.. the OS cover came off fine, but that login screen remained. Every time I have to look at it it just gets uglier and uglier...

Now I know there's a file somewhere in the Windows folder, but I don't know what it is and I don't want to run the risk of screwing anything up. Can someone help me get it back to default, or at least give me a link to another stable demo-free program I can run to put something good-looking up for a change?

Ah, I was screwing around with Style XP the other day (For the boot screen and login thing) and decided it looked weird, so I uninstalled it, and the login screen changed from the (nice) blue default Windows one to a black screen with a nasty looking pop-up login.

Soooooo, I did the System Restore thing to like the day before I had begun screwing around with Style XP, and all is now well.

If you don't want to do that, I think you have to like re-download the default DLL files (Which it wouldn't let me do, which led to the restore decision) and all this other confusing stuff.

This is why you should make a back up copie before you mess with things

Hero2, I didn't touch it. Not even once. It was masked somehow, and I don't know how.

Happydude sent me his. It didn't work. Backups do nothing in this case. I want to piss on StyleXP.
