Window "look" keeps reverting

I'm having an issue that started apparently out of the blue. (i.e. - I can't
tie it into any particular event.)

I keep the "Windows and Buttons" look and color scheme set to Windows
Classic look, however, every time I reboot, it reverts to the Windows XP
look. It's a simple matter to go back into the Control
Panel/Display/Appearance and change it each time, but it's getting tiresome
and I'm looking for the root of the problem and the fix.

Any suggestions?

if you are interested in
only having the classic
desktop

then try going into services
via admin tools and disable
the windows theme service.

Thank you. I actually set it on Manual in hopes that it would leave it where
I set it. Worked on a re-boot. Let's see what happens when I do a complete
shutdown overnight. That's usually when the gremlins find their way in.
Thanks again.

Try right click on Desktop surface and tgo to properties - change the setting
there and make sure you also hit the SAVE or you will be back in XP mode again
