We have several users which change the background picture to one of there own, we would like to have the company default picture set on all computers. Is there a way to stop users changing the background or can windows change it on start-up to a default picture. We are running windows xp pro and users have administrators rights. |

Hi Stephen, you can use group policies to enforce this. Use a GPO to enforce the corporate wallpaper. Then do another setting to prevent them from change. You can hide the background tab of display using GPO -> user Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Control Panel -> Display -> Hide Background tab. Enable this setting. This GPO should be set from your AD.

Stephen, Yes, there are two ways of doing it, one way that I tested as an administrator user and wasn't able to change the wallpaper (grayed out), at least from the wallpaper options from the desktop. The second I haven't tried yet. Here are the links to explain this. The first link is the one I tested. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/327998/en-us http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555429/en-us Dre w "Stephen C" <StephenC@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:8694F7B1-3967-46E7-ADF5-CA920CFF486B@microsoft.com... > We have several users which change the background picture to one of there > own, we would like to have the company default picture set on all > computers. > > Is there a way to stop users changing the background or can windows change > it on start-up to a default picture. > > We are running windows xp pro and users have administrators rights. |
