I want to control users wallpaper's.
I have mixed W9x to W2K wokstations.
I want a unified wallpaper regardless windows version an if active desktop is active or not.

My problem is that all I have tryed seems to happen before the userprofile is loaded.

So my changes does not work.

This I have tryed:

writevalue( "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop", "Wallpaper", "inu.bmp", "REG_SZ" )
writevalue( "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop", "TileWallpaper", "1", "REG_SZ" )
writevalue( "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop", "WallpaperStyle", "2", "REG_SZ" )

writevalue( "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Desktop\General", "Wallpaper", "inu.bmp", "REG_SZ" )
writevalue( "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Desktop\General", "TileWallpaper", "1", "REG_SZ" )
writevalue( "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Desktop\General", "WallpaperStyle", "2", "REG_SZ" )

writevalue( "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\ActiveDesktop", "NoHTMLWallPaper", "1", "REG_SZ" )

and SetWallpaper ("xxx.bmp")

Pleas help me !

Please explain that ! ?????

It seems like my changes in the registry takes place before the userprofile is loaded so the changes i make is overwritten with users own settings. But if I wait until logon process is over and then run my script and after that logg out/in the user my setting will take place.

I think this is really wierd....

have you ever thought of achieiving this with system policies ?
Can be easily implemented !

I believe the comment about the HKCU only being avaliable after logon should be qualified by adding the statement on 9x clients.... this is correct right?

Welcome to the board.

Solved?
Be aware that all kind of changes by KiXtart scripts may have only effect
after a reboot.
Sometimes it aren't only registry settings. Windows 9.x is using also INI files for
all kind of settings.
Policy settings doesn't required such reboot.
greetings.

WriteValue("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop", "TileWallpaper", "2", "REG_SZ") ; Set the wallpaper to "Center" 

 Select
    Case InGroup("groep1")
      Use I: "\\$server\leerling$"
      SetWallpaper ("\\$server\netlogon\bg\groep1.bmp")
 EndSelect
