Desktop Background Lockdown

by jubeir.patel . Updated 21 years, 3 months ago

I’m trying to lock down our 80 users (on a windows 2000 front and back end using AD) from changing their desktop backgrounds and leaving them with the default “boring” blue. I have successfully disabled the use of the Background and Active desktop Tab. so now they can’t change anything except settings and the use of a external screen. but…

Unfortunately some users had already changed their backgrounds before i placed this policy, so they still have their personal backgrounds but can’t change it.

Is there a way of enforcing the backgrounds to revert to the blue upon login without having to lift the policy then manually going to each desktop and changing the backgrounds to “None”?
