Just a note that if you utilize group policy preferences (available in Windows Server 2008 and later) you can easily handle and push out registry values not avaliable with regular group policies, which might be what you want if you are about to customize the look of many client machines.

Hi, Agree with Dave that you may modify the keys under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop to customize the appearance settings. For more information about these sub keys, please refer to: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc776173(WS.10).aspx Regards, Bruce
