CTX086478 ? How to Open Specific Control Panel Icons(.cpl) and Application 
Files, ( .doc, .xls, .msc, .mdb, .hlp) as Published Applications

Desk.cpl is the Control Panel Icon filename.

Under Windows 2003, investigate the usage of a group policy:

User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Control Panel > Display > 
Desktop themes.

Note: The policy overrides any individual registry settings you make. For 
example, if the policy Prohibit Theme Color Selection is configured, the 
background color specified in the registry will not take precedence.
