Disabling the ability for limited users to change the background.

I am working on a large network with some very expensive monitors and
occasionally our users put backgrounds on, which we would rather avoid. Is
there any way to disable this, whether within Windows or using another
program?
 
Hi,

You can do this by editing computer policy (either domain or local).

Open policy editor (e.g. gpedit.msc for local policy) and drill down under
User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Control Panel > Display.
Here double click on policy named "Prevent changing wallpaper" and select
"Enable".

Close policy editor and check you settings. If you changed this using Group
Policy in domain you will have to wait till replication is complete and
client to pick up new settings (or you can run gpupdate on the client to
speed up the process).

I hope this helps you out,
