Windows XP classic mode.

Is there a way to change the looks of WinXP to classics mode in all accounts without going into every account and changing it? This applies to future accounts too.

If you're an Admin of the local machine then

Start - run - gpedit.msc and look in there for that option. I know it's in there - I'm just not sure where.

I didn't see the choices you mentioned Dallasdon. Anyway it's User Configuration-->Administrative Templates-->Start Menu and Taskbar within Group Policy. There's also one for Control Panel. Thanks.

Disabling the "Themes" service, has always worked for me.
You may as well kill fast user switching etc.
gpedit.msc will give you a lot more options and its an invaluble resource in setting up an XP system.
