Setting default wallpaper

by larryalbert . Updated 21 years, 7 months ago

I am trying to set a default wallpaper for all my users and prevent them from changing it. I currently have a build that they use which is on a Windows 2000 Pro machine. This was done by making changes to the registry, I have tried to duplicate it but I am not having any success. I know that this can also be done through a GP but we don’t have that much control we are not able to set policies at the level I am at without going through a huge amount of red tape. Any ideas? I have consulted a registry book with has me changing the registry at HKCU\control panel\desktop also tried HKU\.default\control panel\desktop but know luck. Also tried from the Techrepublic site the adding a key under HKCU\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion and calling it system then add to strings (wallpaper and wallpaperstyle) but this did not work either.
Thanks
