Easy one for someone

I have desktop wallpaper that comes up just after I put in my password and also when I am shutting down my PC. However this is not the wallpaper I have when I am fully logged in and my profile has been applied. Does anyone know how to get rid of the startup / shutdown wallpaper?
OS is Win2000 in an NT Domain.

Any Help Appreciated.

Hi Mick

I had a similar problem a while ago and I solved it this way.

Log on as an administrator, right click on the main screen and select properties. This will take you to the display properties box, stay on the background tab and go to the bottom of the list, you will find the listed wallpaper that is causing you problems, delete it and all will be solved.

I hope this helps.
