Wallpaper and Registry Keys

[James Tabor]

Hi all!

In Mastering, Win 2K Registry, Sybex books, Pages 282-285.
We need some registry fixup to save the wallpaper.

HKEY_USERS.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Desktop,

entry Wallpaper, type REG_SZ and value: fully qualified bitmap image filename,

entry WallpaperStyle, type REG_SZ and value: 0,

entry TileWallpaper, type REG_SZ and value: 0, and on...

Same with Mastering, Win XP Registry, Sybex books, Pages 230-231, nothing changed.

Is there a problem with implementing some of these? What was the
show stopper?
Thanks,
James

The only thing I'm adding is that I've also used Windows NT 3.51,
4.00, and 5.2 (aka Server 2003). This registry setting stays in the
same location for all of them. Probably since Windows NT 3.1, and
continueing in whatever Longhorn is up today.
