Default Windows XP Style

Hi

I know how to force the classic style with i have deployed (via a
regedit)

I have also setting others, but i want to set the theme (style) to
windows XP's Default blue.

I know how to stop it being change once set, is there any way of
settings this so each time a users logs on the same desktop is display
on all PCs. some users like to use classic windows style (the one that
looks like windows 2000), but the management want everyone to use the
same one, the windows XP Style default (blue).

I am currently force the classic menu, using a fixed wallpapper and
screensaver. I can't find away to set the theme style.

Can anyone help


Cheers

Assuming you're in a domain environment, click use the Group Policy Editor. User Configuration, Administrative Templates, Control Panel, Display, Desktop Themes, Load a specific visual style or force Windows Classic.
