I use the following in my Winnt.sif and it works fine for me, I have a edited classic theme which I install using the $OEM$ method (has screensaver settings removed).

[Shell]
    CustomDefaultThemeFile = "%WinDir%\Resources\Themes\Windows Classical.theme"
    DefaultStartPanelOff = "No"

Setting the custom theme to the default classic one will set the classic theme in windows and by setting it this way the xp start menu is still there and isnt the horrible classic one that is set with the winsif command "DefaultThemesOff = Yes".

[Shell]
    CustomDefaultThemeFile = "%WinDir%\Resources\Themes\Windows Classic.theme"
    DefaultStartPanelOff = "No"
