Visual Effects

[Burns]

I am trying to disable all visual effects on workstations.

I would like to ensure no visual effects are loaded.

I do not want to do this via System Properties --> Advanced --> Performance

Is this setting possible with registry settings or gpo / rundll32?

Thanks

Hi Burns,

You can turn off the theme service. Type at Start >> Run SERVICES.MSC and
scroll down the list of services and double click on THEMES and select
"Disabled" from the drop-down list and hit OK.

Yes: Both in Gpedit and the registry.

Thanks, I realise I worded this question incorrectly. I know the themes can
be disabled. But I'm talking about the individual check-boxes in 'Visual
Effects'. e.g.

"Smooth Edges of Screen Fonts"
"Use drop shadows for icon labels on the desktop"

I need to disable all but one of these Visual Effects. Any ideas?
