XP pro SP2 keeps defaulting to original desktop theme?

[ElectroBlaster]

I always pick "Classic Style" in the appearance tab on the computers that I have. But for some annoying reason one of the machines keeps reverting back to the default appearance style, windows xp + default (blue)

I wiped the machine and everything was ok up until today where its gone back to default again? I dont understand whats causing it... anybody had this problem before?

Hi there,

Not had this before but it might be worth looking into the local security policy to see if you can force classic mode (like you can in group policy on 2003).

Just a thought...

If it doesnt do what you want - Force it!!

Hi m8

I used google and did a search and found a way of forcing it, applied it and fingers crossed things will work.

Ive never had this problem before in all the years ive used xp
