Mike_Wilson Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 The default for xp is bliss which is located in C:\WINDOWS\Web\Wallpaperalong with the other default wallpapers.You can set a reg key in your unattended so it sets your wallpaper.Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop]"Wallpaper"="C:\\WINDOWS\\web\\wallpaper\\Bliss.bmp""WallpaperStyle"="2"Change the line"Wallpaper"="C:\\WINDOWS\\web\\wallpaper\\Bliss.bmp"to the path of your wallpaperStretched wallpaper style is"WallpaperStyle"="2"Tiled wallpaper style is"WallpaperStyle"="1"IF YOU WANT TO SET THIS WALLPAPER ONLY ON YOUR ACCOUNT USE THE KEY "HKEY_CURRENT_USER" OTHERWISE USING "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE" WILL SET THE WALLPAPER ON ALL ACCOUNTShope this helpsMike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbroantonio Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 Where would I change/add the reg setting for the LOCAL MACHINE. Yes, I want to change the wallpaper for all users.Basically, I want all users, including the guest account, to have the same wallpaper. I know how to prevent changing the wallpaper (gpedit.msc), but most of the accounts have already changed their wallpapers. I am the administrator, and basically want to set all the wallpapers and then set gpedit.msc to prevent them from changing them again.What I don't get is IF YOU WANT TO SET THIS WALLPAPER ONLY ON YOUR ACCOUNT USE THE KEY "HKEY_CURRENT_USER" OTHERWISE USING "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE" WILL SET THE WALLPAPER ON ALL ACCOUNTSI mean, I can't find the relative key in the LOCAL MACHINE registry table.
