Roaming profiles desktop not showing....

[GlenJohnson]

Simple problem. Setting up roaming profiles. Everything works, but when I set up the backgrounds, they don't show up on the target computers. When I select the display properties, it shows what the correct backgrounds should be, but they don't extend to the actual desktop themselves. What am I missing. Thanks.

Regular windows desktop. Not sure what you mean by homegrown.

That's what I thought. No, this is a plain, windows background. Shows the desert with the moon, called Red Moon Desert. Nothing fancy. Thanks.

Got it, so bmp's work, jpg's don't without doing some fancy footwork. Thanks for the help.
