hi there, i'm a student at a university where they have windows XP pro on all the lab computers... when i log on the theme is luna and the startmenu is the new style... needless to say, this is completely unacceptable :). i change both to a less childish windows 2000 like work environment every time i log into a computer but of course they dont keep my settings... i do however have a usb drive i insert every time i use the computer...

what i've been looking for is a way to have something run every time i insert the usb drive that will change the theme and start menu to classic for me. i'm decently comfy with vb6 and i'm just learning c++... if someone could point me in the right direction to program something that would do this i'd appreciate it greatly.
thanks, max
