| 473249 | 2006-07-26 22:53:00 | Just a follow up, The wallpapers set 2 the right one, but can not b changed by the user, (good anyway). On loading the new wallpaper is displayed but after everything is loaded the wallpaper goes blank, if i looking in display properties the wallpaper is set 2 the right one, but can not b chaged, In Group Policy's if i set "Block Policy Inheritance" the wallpaper displays 1/4 right hand side and blank the rest. Is it the size of the jpg? Postion is "stretch" Is it something to do with the display properties being locked? I have only chaged the Active Desktop Wallpaper. Any help is great Cheers Wayne :thumbs: |

| 473251 | 2006-07-27 01:29:00 | Waynz, you will have to play around with the policies....I dont use display restrictions. Yes to does prevent user intervention, but thats what its supposed to do. You can command all workstations from GPO Window 2000 needs to log on, log off for GPO to authenciate, however windows 2003 server will dymanic update policy on the fly, every 15min I think. |

| 473252 | 2006-07-31 01:34:00 | Hi People I Have mandatory profile (man) Have got the wallpaper to update (if change it it only changes after a reboot) I can live with this. BUT now however when i enforce the wallpaper it makes the icons have a background color instead of the standard transparent XP icon text. Is there a way to make the icons transparent? Cheers Wayne :eek: |
