• Visual C# Programatically Change Windows Themes

  Is there a way to programmatically change windows themes using .Net 2.0 and C# I ask because I am unable to figure out how to make all themes the same over my network domain. Since I can't figure out how to do it with AD (i'm using a 2000 server with mixed 2000 and xp pro clients) I thought I would make an application to do the job. Any help would be much appreciated.
