Title: RE: [ActiveDir] Background

Can you supply me with the reg key?  Also, can I do that through the GPO?

The whole idea of forcing a background seems like overkill to me.  You’d think the same color cubicle walls would be depressing enough :-D.

 

At any rate, the background is just a value in the registry, as is the ability to view the background tab.  If you want to lock down the background, change the permissions of the reg key.

In my login script, I copy  the standard .bmp file from a network share onto the local workstation.  This keeps them from replacing it for very long.  I've seen some places that point directly to a shared folder for the .bmp instead of locally but I prefer to have the .bmp file local, especially when considering laptop users.

I believe a good way to eliminating is to disable active desktop and only allow .BMP wall paper.  I’ve done this and a majority of my users have stopped trying J.  It’s worth a shot…

 

Thanks,

Can you disable that through a GPO

In Internet Explorer right click an image on a webpage and choose "Set as Background".  Maybe that's how she's doing it?

How is it possible that a regular user can change her background if you disable the Background tab through a GPO to all users?  I checked and she doesn't have that tab, the GPO is working correctly.
