Windows Server uses classic by default because it uses less resources and severs do not need to look good.
This is how you change it back. Click start, type in “services.msc”, and click ok. Once the services manager opens scroll down the list and double click the themes service. Change the drop down box that says "disabled" to automatic and click apply. Now you should be able to start the service. After you start the service, open the display properties and click the appearance tab. Select Windows Xp and your good to go.
Hope this helps, Sandman
