Force a specific visual style file or force Windows Classic
This setting allows you to force a specific visual style file by entering the path (location) of the visual style file. This can be a local computer visual style (aero. msstyles) or a file located on a remote server using a UNC path ( -> -> Server -> Share -> aero. msstyles). If you enable this setting the visual style file that you specify will be used. Also a user may not apply a different visual style when changing themes. If you disable or do not configure this setting the users can select the visual style that they want to use by changing themes (if the Personalization Control Panel is available). Note: If this setting is enabled and the file is not available at user logon the default visual style is loaded. Note: When running Windows XP you can select the Luna visual style by typing %windir% -> resources -> Themes -> Luna -> Luna. msstylesNote: To select the Windows Classic visual style leave the box blank beside “Path to Visual Style:” and enable this setting. When running Windows 8 or Windows RT you cannot apply the Windows Classic visual style.

If you disable or do not configure this setting the default theme will be applied at the first logon.
Prevent changing theme
This setting disables the theme gallery in the Personalization Control Panel. If you enable this setting users cannot change or save a theme. Elements of a theme such as the desktop background color sounds and screen saver can still be changed (unless policies are set to turn them off). If you disable or do not configure this setting there is no effect. Note: If you enable this setting but do not specify a theme using the “load a specific theme” setting the theme defaults to whatever the user previously set or the system default.
Prevent changing color scheme
This setting forces the theme color scheme to be the default color scheme. If you enable this setting a user cannot change the color scheme of the current desktop theme. If you disable or do not configure this setting a user may change the color scheme of the current desktop theme. For Windows 7 and later use the “Prevent changing color and appearance” setting.
