Classic View for All Users

is there a way to default windows vista to classic view for all users that
sign on to a computer. i am a domain admin. i am in charge of rolling out
windows vista. my boss has informed me that we would like to have vista
changed to classic for all user, but leave the access to change back to the
vista gui if they so desired. does any one have any ideas?

Re: Classic View for All Users

I have no problem installing vista. we have been testing for over a year and
have all of our applications working flawlessly. it just takes time and
research to get what you need out of an OS. the same thing was said about
windows XP.

I googled the term "same profile for all users and vista and found several
possible solutions. This one looks promising.

1) If your company already has everything running XP/2003 and such, it's
a huge waste ot upgrade everything just for the sake of upgrading.

2) An alternate way to achieve the same default setup on every machine
is to create an image with the setup you want and deploy that (assuming
all the machines are identicle.)

Re: Classic View for All Users

Basic stuff.. and an IT person would know how to use Google in the first
place.
An IT person would also never install Vista in a corporation
