Lock admin theme

Is there a way that I can lock what theme users can use w/o deleting those other themes?  I want to keep the default one present as a backup, but only want my users able to use the 1 theme I have designed for them.

Thanks,
oab2

You could deactivate or uninstall the theme manager.

well it appears theme manager is geared for templates.  I deactivated it and all users can still change the admin theme.

So that didn't work.

Sorry, just thinking out loud here. What if you delete the entire theme folder that you don't want.
*Back-up first if you plan on using again.

If they are full admins I don't think you can do this w/o removing them from admin theme folder...

That's what I meant.

Let me do some clarification.  I don't want users in the group "editors" to have the option to change admin theme.  I don't care if it's just given 1 option or if it's not even listed in the user prefs.  I know I could make some changes to the php using some if statements according to user group, but I was hoping to have an option that would not involve changing code. 

I want as main admin to still have the ability to have a different admin them.  I would really like the abiblity as admin to choose the admin theme for different users/groups.

Does this help?
