Thanks.

Hi dave,

I don't use themes myself, but I did a quick google search and came up with some sites that offer free themes.

goto Google and search "Windows XP themes free" and you should have a few hits. I looked at some of them and the ones from appleblossomart seemed like a good site.

Keep in mind I did not download or scan any files, I just did the look up and checked out the site.

Hope that helps at least a little

Hi notesetter smile.gif

The only place i go for themes, screensavers etc. are Themeworld.com

have tried some, not all, and haven't found anything malicious in any i have tried.
That doesn't mean the possibility aint there, there always the chance of a rotten apple in the basket.

Just be careful when browsing for such things, there are many no no places. If you aint got a site-advisor, get one. They may not be 100% accurate, but one is better none. I personnally just use the Mcafee siteadvisor, but trendmicro.com also have one named
Trend Protect. It doesn't work with Mozilla browser as do Mcafee, but they are working on that. And i'll switch the moment they have the Trend Protect ready for Firefox biggrin.gif
