Dougeh Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 At work the only way I know of to change the wall paper is going through Paint and doing the old set as background. The annoying thing is part of the logon script resets your wallpaper to the default company rubbish. Is there a command or something I could make into a batch file, which i could then set to run at startup, to change my wallpaper to what I desire?

forster Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 Kind of sidestepping the issue of a batchfile, if the company wallpaper is stored locally on your machine, you could rename the wallpaper you want displayed to the same filename (and put in the same location overwriting the old one - or indeed renaming it first) as the office one, and it should display your chosen one instead.

Dougeh Posted August 20, 2004 Author Share Posted August 20, 2004 That was my first plan, I realised after it was a bad Idea because other people use the same machine *sometimes* Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/206357-changing-wallpaper-win-2k/#findComment-584397389 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Decryptor Veteran Posted August 20, 2004 Veteran Share Posted August 20, 2004 you got to get a program that changes the wallpaper it's self, i dont need one so i never have looked for one, but i do know they exist. you just have to run it at startup, like the batch file method.
