    Windows XP Wallpaper

    I'd like every user on a Windows XP machine to have the same wallpaper. The wallpaper should be specified by me. How can I do this?

    Mendhak,

    I know it's possible, I just don't know how to do this...

    I'm only answering you, cos you can't forget that user can easily change his wallpaper just by opening an image on IE and then choosing "Set as Wallpaper"...

    I'm not sure if there's a way to block this...

    No, I'm not looking to block them from changing it. Just setting the wallpaper for everyone.

    I downloaded this two samples sometime ago from PSC (I think...)...

    Maybe one of them could help you...

    Easiest way is definatly by policy.
    I use Microsoft Visual Basic 2005. (Therefore, most code samples I provide will be based around the .NET Framework v2.0, unless otherwise specified)
