I call a .cmd file and set my Wallpaper this way. Its first thing in this .cmd so when Vista loads desktop the Wallpaper is set.

Using FirstLogonCommands in my xml
 <settings pass="oobeSystem">
			<FirstLogonCommands>
				<SynchronousCommand wcm:action="add">
					<CommandLine>%systemdrive%\Install\FirstLogon.cmd</CommandLine>
					<Order>1</Order>
					<Description>FirstLogon</Description>
				</SynchronousCommand>
			</FirstLogonCommands>


Part of FirstLogon.cmd in sources\$oem$\$1\Install
REM	SETTING WALLPAPER
REG ADD "HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop" /v Wallpaper /t REG_SZ /d %systemroot%\Web\Wallpaper\BlissfullSunset.jpg /f
REG ADD "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Desktop\General" /v Wallpaper /t REG_EXPAND_SZ /d %%systemroot%%\Web\Wallpaper\BlissfullSunset.jpg /f
REG ADD "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Desktop\General" /v BackupWallpaper /t REG_EXPAND_SZ /d %%systemroot%%\Web\Wallpaper\BlissfullSunset.jpg /f


Theres other ways to do this I'm sure but this is so simple.
Before someone says it don't work last step is mount and add my Wallpaper folder into my install.wim in Windows\Web\Wallpaper

I overwrite the default wallpaper in install.wim (windows\web\wallpaper\img24.img) with my favorite wall ;)

Just another way to do it ;)

good enough people shared diff ways to do it :thumbup
I do all that with my program so its really easy. I like some of those default ones but is the img24 the same for each .wim? I haven't looked at it. I know if you set something besides ultimate you get another wall. So what i'm asking is will it be img24 regardless?

Dreamscene I'm working on myself but failed last time around but will tweak on it a bit and give her another try.
