Hallo,

weet iemand een aanmeldscript voor windows server 2003 om

een achtergrond vast te zetten voor een gebruiker, die XP gebruikt?

via groepsbeleid werkt het niet, aangezien je daarmee ook

active desktop activeert,

wat ik niet wil gebruiken,

ik wil graag met het script het achtergrondje c:\windows\web\wallpaper\woestijn.jpg

als achtergrondje gebruiken.

Bedankt alvast:)

I wouldn't know how you do that in CMD but you could easily make a quick VB program with the following code in it

It should work but I haven't had a chance to test it seeing as how my program keeps freezing when I compile (It's more complicated than this) (See Prgramming VB Forum)

Private Function setWallpaper()

Dim t As Long

t = SystemParametersInfo(ByVal 20, vbnostring, ByVal "LOCATION OF WALLPPAER", &H1)

If t = 0 Then

MsgBox "Error changing wallpaper"

Exit Function

End If

End Function

Ummm, I think active desktop is running by default and is required if you wish to use any image that is not a BMP.

Use a group policy to set it in the registry, thats what we did.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop

Set the "Wallpaper" string to the path, and away you go.

Alternatively, you can do the same here:

HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Desktop

Yup, I think you're right.

Try using a BMP instead.
