Windows Forum / Windows XP / Customization / June 2005Group Policies and Wallpaper
Hi everyone, I would like all users in our Win2k3 domain to have a common wallpaper, however, I don't want to enable the Active Desktop GPO as the icons on the desktop display with black backgrounds - awful. Is there a way I can do this by modifying the registry? I've modified HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop\Wallpaper and HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop\OriginalWallpaper but when I restart, I get a black background and not the wallpaper I specified. Any help is much apreciated. Thanks, Dennis What I'm asking is: is it possible to set the background via Group Policy WITHOUT having to activate Active Desktop? It appears that the only method is to enable Active Desktop and specify the wallpaper there. However, you can also disable changes to the Active Desktop.
