dykemike Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 Is there any setting in Windows that I can lock the background image so that i doesn't change, or is there any free programs that would do this also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Topox Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Hi sir, I'm a Computer Lab administrator in a HighSchool in Venezuela. Here we have a wallpaper representing the HighSchool and I loked it in order to keep an order and labs look great. I did this: HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\ActiveDesktop DWORD: NoChangingWallpaper 1 This works perfect but if you open any image and rightclick on it, then choose "use as wallpaper" you can change it... The cuestion is there's any way to block also this command? Thanks a lot for your patience. Victor Bracho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 I believe the only way to do this is via group policy. There is a setting inside group policy that will allow you to specify the wallpaper you would like to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
