how do i remove UXthem the patch that lets u use 3rd party visual styles, i installed it but then i changed my mind and i think it made my display properties run pretty slow any help

If you patched your uxtheme with a good installer it should provide an repair option, otherwise try to use repair from the windows install cd or get someone elses unpatched uxtheme.dll

i got but i think im gonna stick to tha patch dll and unistall stylexp it works good

the main reason that it would slow down your appearence properties is that you have alot of themes installed in your c:\windows\resources\themes\ directory. try removing all but your favorites and it would speed up.

but you might still like them.. make a new folder titled "old themes" or w/e and keep them in there just incase you might still want to use them 

This way by keeping your favourites, load time should still be fast without removing anything

other on that is good is the Neowin VS Forum

you put them in C:\Windows\Resources\Themes

You may not have a theme folder in "Resources" so just create one.
