I appoligize if this is not the correct Forem but it is a VB6 problem but more so a WinXP problem.

Just loaded WinXP (Home) and VB6 Professional runs fine - Except, on all of my forms the controls are all picking up the desktop colors. All my foregrounds and backgrounds are set using palette colors and not system colors. But as soon as I change my desktop colors and reopen VB6 - all my colors are changed to the WinXP Desktop colors.

This would be great if I wanted that - But I don't - any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

The WinXP was a clean install - I then installed VB6. My old VB programs are fine, its just any forms I have edited in WinXP.
