Hi,
   Yes i am doing this via Local Policy and it didn't
work. I have enable the Policy you said me and i have
left the fild blank because it is says (To choose Windows
Classic left blank).

I restart my computer, i even try to kill a user profile
and log again, i still have some visual effect turned on.

thanks!
If you could send me your e-mail address i will send you
images of the settings...

bunch of TS as well as all of my XP Pro domain members.
You can also remove the themes tab from the Dispaly
Control Panel.
