Disable the Themes service altogether. You'll get the Classic desktop. -- Mike Gill

We recently found out one of our applications does not work well with anything besides the Windows Classic theme. Of course users love to go in and change everything they possibly can so the decision has been made to lock the themes down. I found the registry key to disable the tab but not sure on the registry key to set it to Windows Classic. After Googling for a bit I found it is in the following key, software/microsoft/windows/currentversion/ThemeManager, but I didnt see anywhere with the specific themes documented as to what value they need to be. Any ideas? ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
