    Using Control Panel Across A Network

    Hello veryone:

    I would like to know if and how I can use the control panel on a different computer on a network to change the background, screensaver, time, etc(Of the other computer). Both computers are running XP Pro in the same workgroup. The server is running 2000 server.

    When I try to run control.exe on the other machine it changes mine not the other computer!

    Any Ideas??

    Thanks

    Try a search because I think you can change the wallpaper without
    using the Control Panel.

    I'm pretty sure you can't. If you need to, use Group Policy instead or remote desktop onto the other computer and do it that way.
    I use Microsoft Visual Basic 2005. (Therefore, most code samples I provide will be based around the .NET Framework v2.0, unless otherwise specified)
