I'm not very sure what you are asking for. A command-line only? The classic interface? Please be more specific.

Win7 DOES NOT include the "Classic" look...

IF you had bothered to read the thread nitro pointed you to you would see that you have to use a 3rd party method to include it.

To answer the OP's question. (without railroading him)

Try a group policy to push a theme silently.

or try some of the other settings in the personalization folder (inside GPEDIT)

FYI, if you are not on a domain, this can be done via the registry as well
