RE: [ActiveDir] GPO for standardizing the background/wallpaper

[Cothern Jeff D. Team EITC]

Joe   Under User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Desktop  Disable Active Desktop Wallpaper.  This will Turn off wallpaper.    User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Control Panel\Display             Enable Prevent changing Wallpaper             Enable Hide appearance and themes Tab.   As for settings a background color I don’t know a way to do that in GPO.  But you can set it on a machine and then export the reg entry and edit so just the background color is in the .reg file and core  current user.  Then add it to a login script for the users and it should change their background to the color specified.  Unless someone knows a better way.   Jeff     From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Pelle, Joe Sent: Monday, February 07, 2005 5:27 PM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: [ActiveDir] GPO for standardizing the background/wallpaper   Hello!   I would like to know if anyone knows how to standardize the wallpaper/background via GPO on XP workstations?   I want to specify a background color with no wallpaper, no background, and to not allow the user to change the color or any other settings.    It looks like I can accomplish most of this if I force a theme and hide or disable some of the tabs… but I was hoping to not have to force a theme…   Any help is greatly appreciated.   Thanks!   Joe Pelle Senior Infrastructure Architect Information Technology Valassis / IT 19975 Victor Parkway Livonia, MI 48152 Tel 734.591.7324  Fax 734.632.6151 [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.valassis.com/   This message may have included proprietary or protected information.  This message and the information contained herein are not to be further communicated without my express written consent.
