Default Setting Vista to appear like XP


I am looking for a registry tweak that will allow me to change the default
Vista theme to the Windows Classic theme.

I want do get the registry entry so I can apply this to multiple machines in
my domain using a logon script. Please dont' tell me to go to Control Panel >
Appearance and Personalization. I know to do that. Just need to know the
key(s) I have to change to make it permanent for every user who logs on.

Thanks,
JEM

With Business edition or better, Vista has GPEDIT.MSC to set a Policy for
'No Theme Tab'. In Home, it’s a registry setting.
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer!NoThemesTab=1

You create a default Profile that users get upon creation of the userID and
set the theme to what you want.
