Do you mean that they don't have the XP look?

I haven't worked with the express editions of VS, but in order to enable the
XP look in the Main method you need to call

Application.EnableVisualStyles();
before
Application.Run(...).

Without this all the control will have classical win2k look.

Check in the main method. Express edition or not VS uses the same framework
so there should be a problem to enable this.
