Hi Bongo...many thanks for taking time to reply.
From what I can see, the first link is the only one that makes any sense.
However, it seems to refer to Windows Ultimate.
I have Windows Home Premium...
Downloading yet more themes seems pointless. I've tried many themes and none, as I've said, have any impact on Windows Explorer.
That MS didn't include a colour change for such an obvious program as Windows Explorer just defies belief in their abilities and customer focus.
Anyhow, if you've any other ideas on how to change the Explorer colour background, I'd appreciate it.
Thanks again for you input...
