I have set the appearance of my new Windows XP Media Center PC as Windows
Classic with the color setting Teal (VGA). On every reboot, something has
changed the Windows and Buttons style from Windows Classic to Windows XP
style. I do not know which registry setting is being changed and what is
changing it. Can someone point me to the proper registry entries to check?

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's Ad-Watch, Spybot Tea Timer,
SpywareBlaster, SpySweeper, Norton AntiVirus, McAfee VirusScan and/or
Antispyware, and Zone Alarm (Free and Pro).
