Bat file to install background img

[AgentM]

Hi,

I am trying to install the same background image for all users on my network.
Is there a bat file or a set of commands that will do it.

Any help appreciated.

Thank you

Anything I, as a software developer need to install on ther people's PC I shove it down their HDD using InnoSetup, a freeware installation tool that beats InstallS&^%$ any day, any time. It can be found at

P.s.: Don't forget the fabulous ISTool third party script companion ;-)

Hi there, I did this recently in my corporate network of WinNt4 and 2k:

Create a file on each PC in something like C:\WINNT\desktop.reg in this file add:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop]
"Wallpaper"="C:\WINNT\picture.bmp"
"WallpaperStyle"="2"

Make sure the path for the picture is a valid file and WallpaperStyle is "2" (for stretch!). Then create a shortcut in All Users Startup to %WINDIR%\regedit /s C:\WINNT\desktop.reg

This will insert the reg settings each time the users log on (so even if they change the paper it will still revert to the corporate image.

Hope this helps.
