Lock Down windows Background Image


Recommended Posts

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.

Run this from the command prompt

reg add HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\ActiveDesktop /v NoChangingWallpaper /t REG_DWORD /d 1

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.
