Is there a way to force for a Classical Theme for all the users using local
group policies for windows XP

Mike;

Local Computer Policy\User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Control
Panel\Display\Desktop Themes\

Load a specific visual style file or force Windows Classic

[[This setting allows you to load a specific visual style file by entering
the path (location) of the visual style file.
This can be a local computer visual style (Luna.msstyles), or a file located
on a remote server using a UNC path (\\Server\Share\luna.msstyles).
If you enable this setting, the visual style file that you specify will be
used. Also, a user may not choose to use a different visual style.
If you disable or do not configure this setting, the users can select the
visual style that they want to use for their desktop.
Note: If this setting is enabled and the file is not available at user
logon, the default visual style is loaded.
Note: To select the Windows XP Luna visual style type
%windir%\resources\Themes\Luna\Luna.mstyles
Note: To select the Windows Classic visual style, leave the box blank beside
"Path to Visual Style:" and enable this setting.]]

I think you can do that if you disable the THEMES service.
