Default Display propertiesThemes keeps resetting.

Hi
using XP Media Center Edition SP3

Right Click on DesktopPropertiesThemes

I've set the Theme to Windows Classic & under Appearances set 'Windows &
Buttons' to Windows Classic Style.

However when ever I reboot it resets the Appearance back to Windows XP
style.

Any idea how to solve this problem?

Thanks in advance.

One or more options/settings in an ever-growing number of third-party
applications may be disallowing the change(s) from "sticking". These include
but are not limited to Ad-aware Pro's Ad-Watch, Spybot Tea Timer,
SpywareBlaster, SpySweeper, Spyware Doctor, CounterSpy, AVG Anti-Spyware,
Norton AntiVirus, McAfee VirusScan and/or Antispyware, NOD32, and Zone Alarm
(Free, Pro, & Security Suite).
