tried NiteView

Stumbled across a little Windows app for changing the screen colours to an astronomy-friendly hue.

NiteView was written many moons ago, by J.P. Oliver, back in the Windows 95/98 days, but it still works for XP. You can find it at your favourite online freeware software resource. I could have sworn I looked for something like this before; I'm glad I found it now. In addition to using deep red colours, it can hide all the desktop icons and the taskbar. Thin, fast, smart. Seems that the latest version is 1.5.0, last updated in 2009.
