Hi,
Can somebody plaese tell me when I change the background image and the apearance of my desktop, in what file thease changes are written to ??

Thanks,
Gavin
 
In the registry....HKCU\Control Panel\Appearance , and , HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop , for starters.
 
I am not sure but I think the file you are looking for is the Ntuser.dat file located underneath your profile. Anytime a user amkes specific cahnges to their desktops (ie - wallpapaer, screensavers, etc...) it is stored for them indiviually in their ntuser.dat file. Hope this helps.
