There's a couple ways in WLW to do the same thing but the quickest way 
is under the "Weblog" drop down menu in either the menu bar or the 
toolbar just below the menu bar, select "Edit weblog settings" (making 
sure that the correct weblog is selected if you have more than one 
listed.). In the resulting "Account" dialog box, click on the "Update 
account configuration" button at the bottom. This brings WLW up to date 
for any changes that might have been made in your theme, plugins or 
WordPress core file system for any given blog. This isn't always 
necessary when a user makes regular security upgrades to their WP 
install but apparently when there's enough of a change in the file 
system so that WLW no longer recognizes the site as compared to it's 
current configuration settings, it reverts to a "default" "poke and 
hope" mode and sometimes WLW won't publish at all. I'm getting the idea 
that this is one of the reasons that after a major upgrade to a 
WordPress install, many users complain that WLW will no longer post to 
their custom WP blog. In fact, this may have at least partially solved a 
long standing WLW/WordPress "bug" that's been around since WLW first 
came out. I'll have to check with Joe Cheng ( head developer for WLW) 
about this.

Please excuse my wordiness. I used to write tech manuals, operations and 
maintenance procedures that anyone could use--never got out of the habit. :)
