I'm logged on as the Administrator and want to set a specific wallpaper image for all users. I've done it before on 2003 Server but forget where. I think it was somewhere inside the Local Security Policy manager but I can't find it. Does anyone know where to enable the active desktop then set the wallpaper?

run gpedit.msc

Navigate to User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Desktop > Desktop

Active Desktop settings are under here.

Double click Desktop Wallpaper, select Enabled, Type in the path to your jpg/or bmp file under Wallpaper Name.

No, that's just someone changing it in their own user settings. the Response to it is about Active Desktop but ti doesn't say how to change it. – Mark Nov 4 '09 at 17:56

Are you thinking of Group Policy?
