Is there any way to access the display settings within the .Net framework?

On a WinXP box, one can right click on the desktop, select Properties,
go to the Appearance tab, click on the Advanced button, and muck with
the display appearance in fine detail. Are any of these settings
available through .Net? Specificly, I'm looking for scrollbar size but
I'm generally curious.

Failing direct access to this data in .Net, are the corresponding
settings in the registry well documented anywhere?

Thanks in advance.
