Is there anyone out there who is able (& willing), to doctor Paint to remove the two "Save as Wallpaper" commands? I know it can be done but unfortunately I am not into programming! Thanks in advance to any good Samaritans:

At http://www.jsiinc.com/ (a great site) click on NT Reg Hacks and search for wallpaper. Specifically, tip 070 addresses "Removes the ability to change wallpaper and backround pattern from Control Panel." You might try it to see if it also work for your situation.

Thanks for the reply, the site is good and added to "favourites". However, Wallpaper, Screensavers, backgrounds etc are all locked out already via registry settings. Our problem is that if a student uses "Paint" (which is unfortunately part of thecurriculum) then all they need to do is save the file and then "Set as Wallpaper". Presto,- wallpaper without going thro control panel.
