I'm not sure about policy.

If you wanted to go the long way about it, set up the Admin account like
you want the default to be. Create another admin account, say admin2.
Log in as admin2, and copy the admin profile to a folder named Default
User.

Copy the administrator's registry keys over to the default user's keys.

Can't you do this via a policy.

I got the administrator switched to classic but could only change the
background for the default users.  How can I change the complete theme
for the default user?

Hrmmmmm I was thinking that if you switched the default user and
administrator to Windows Classic, then the classic theme was applied to
log in.

leaving it blank did the trick.  Thanks.  The login box still has the
teletubbie theme to it with the rounded edges and the bright blue color
but that will have to do.

Thanks!

Ah, I see.  Damn Compaq.  Take a look in that reg path that I mentioned
and see if there's a wallpaper value.  If so, try changing it to
"(None)" sans quotes.
