How do I restore the default icons in Windows 7?

Slightly frustrating. I was installing custom theme packs on my system, decided to just revert to the default appearance of Win7.

However, now my Start Bar Orb has been changed, along with numerous other icons (folder icons are not the regular manila folders, Windows Explorer icon is orange now, etc. etc.). Is there a simple program I can download to just revert all this stuff to the default?

Or a file that I can delete and then click Windows Update and have it redownload it for me?

Update:

Z: Good question, it did require a program be installed to implement the theme, and I did uninstall it (probably unwisely, shoulda just switched back to the regular windows theme first).

    You can still get back to the original theme by right clicking on the Desktop and choosing Personalization then Themes and choosing the normal theme.

    Did this theme get into the add remove programs? If so uninstall it and see. As far as a resolve, system restore usually takes care of any changes.
