Set Windows Classic as default theme

Hello all,
Trying to set the Classic theme as the default theme either through the
registry (preferably) or an unattend.xml file. Not having any luck so
far. Does anyone know a way to do this? Thanks.

You are making matters a lot more complicated than need be.

Right-click the desktop, choose Personalize, then Theme... find your
way from there.

Can't use the easy way. Need a registry setting or answer file entry.

Figured it out. I did the unattend.xml file entry wrong.

Not if he actually needs to perform the setup with out intervention. That's
what unattend.xml is for.

What if he's setting up quite a lot of machines? You're suggesting he'd
have to manually intervene and set the value on each and every one of them?
Why?

@mena661
What keys did you change in order to set the default theme for users?

Not your lucky day. That moniker has only posted twice EVER - and
both times were in this thread last November.
