Is there a way to set a default background image on XP? I am trying to have our company logo be the background image for anyone who logs in under our domain on the XP computers.

I did get it to work for regular users logging in to the computer, but i cant figure out how to switch it so when people log in to our domain it works.

thanks

ansmwke,

Copy and pasted from MS Help and Support

Click Start, Run.
Type regedit and click OK.
Make a backup of the registry first then;
Navigate to the following registry key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ CurrentVersion\Policies\System

Create a new string value called "Wallpaper" and set it to the full path and filename of the image.
Additionally, to specify the display style, create a new string value called "WallpaperStyle" and set it to either "0", "1" or "2" according to the list below.

0 - Centered (Default)
1 - Tiled
2 - Stretched

Is there a way to change the background image on vista when you login. I found a program by stardock that does it, but i am looking for a way to deploy new computers to our company and have our logo on the logon screen, but not have the computer loaded up with extra software to do it.

Thanks
