How to reset my taskbar to default?

I recently added a theme to change the look of my Windows 7 Home Premium user to look like Mac (I know, I'm a traitor, right?). I would like to know how I can set "explorer.exe" to default from STARTUP. Unfortunately, I am unable to find a way to do this on my own. Does anybody have even the slightest idea? It's bugging me because it's caused my other User Accounts on this specific computer to be a mix of the two themes (Mac and 7), and it looks grim to be perfectly honest. Any idea's?

    I'm going to assume that uninstalling the program will fix it, or at the very least, the program will have an option to revert it.

    But for future reference, when you make changes to explorer.exe, you should create a copy before hand and rename it to explorerOld.exe. That way you can always revert if you get tired or if you make a bad change that breaks something by deleting explorer.exe and renaming the old copy back. In fact, the program that themed windows likely did this, so you can check "C:\Windows" for a program named explorer2.exe or something.

    Un install the program you used to do it.

    I once had the same problem...
