Missing Desktop Theme
I lost the 60's Desktop Theme. It changed into the Underwater Theme. How can I get it back?
Open the Control Panel. Select "Add and Remove Programs". Select the "Windows Setup" tab. Highlight "Desktop Themes" then press the "Details" button. Put a check in the box next to "The 60's USA" tab and press the "Ok" button. Press ok again and it should install it. Make sure you have your Windows 98 CD in the CD drive. That should do it.
If it's there before, then it's installed in the system... Should the proposed answer doesn't solve your problem, then reject the answer to reopen the question.
Try this, Contol Panel>Desktop Themes There you can pick whichever theme you like. Did it change to Underwater theme automatically? If so, you might want to uncheck the 'rotate theme monthly' checkbox.

I tried that all morning. The 60's Desktop Theme still appears as the underwater theme. I even went to Windows Explorer to Windows/System and clicked on icon for 60's and it pulled up the underwater scene, not the tie-dye.

Could I have changed settings without realizing it???

Excellent! I have restored the theme by following your advice about first removing all and then adding again. It worked great! Kudos to you, larbel. Thanks.
Glad that I could help :>
