How can I change the desktop image in a user station that has had the conventional meathod disabled?

The user station has the ability to change the desktop background disabled. I was wondering if there was a possibility of changing it like you can change the splash screens? Also the screen saver is disabled, but I don't think there is a way to enable that. It is a Windows NT system.

If you can edit the regisrty you can control if it is able to be changed or not.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System

All of the following entries are type REG_DWORD and have a default of 0. If these entries are set to 1, the restriction is enabled.

DisableTaskMgr - Prevents TaskMgr.exe from running. This entry is only supported from NT 4.0 with SP2 or greater.

NoDispAppearancePage - Removes the ability to change the colors or color scheme on the desktop from Control Panel.

NoDispBackgroundPage - Removes the ability to change wallpaper and backround pattern from Control Panel.

NoDispCPL - Disables the Display option in Control Panel

NoDispScrSavPage - The Screen Saver tab does not appear in the Display Properties page of Control Panel.

NoDispSettingsPage - The Settings and Plus tab do not appear in the Display Properties page of Control Panel.



hope this helps
