I had a similar problem, not 100% resolved yet but...

On XP all files in the Windows Dir are protected from normal users, I use BGInfo to set wallpaper with system info on it, but it doesn't work on XP as the user doesn't have the necessary rights to make the new wallpaper file.

Is this the type of problem you're having?

I used CACLS to change the permissions to the BGInfo.bmp when ever an admin logs on.

This fixes all new PC's as Admin logs on to set them up so the file is sorted before the users get them. I've yet to fix the existing PC's though.
