Display properties>Themes keeps resetting.

[Dave F.]

Hi
using XP Media Center Edition SP3

Right Click on Desktop>Properties>Themes

I've set the Theme to Windows Classic & under Appearances set 'Windows &
Buttons' to Windows Classic Style.

However when ever I reboot it resets the Appearance back to Windows XP
style.

Any idea how to solve this problem?

Thanks in advance.
