I have used GPO with W2K Server to disable Display options
in XP Clients. I want to have a few backgrounds in
C:\WINDOWS that i want the users to be able to choos from,
but how do I stop them clicking on the "browse" button to
stop them looking for other files.... ?
 
In the Group Policy Editor for XP go to:

User Configuration, Administrative Templates, Desktop, Active Desktop, Allow
only bitmapped wallpaper.

The registry key and setting are:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\ActiveD
esktop
NoHTMLWallPaper
DWord value. 1 = Only BMP wallpaper, 0 = All wallpaper

Then even though they can browse, they can only use BMP files for wallpaper.
Just make sure the ones you want to use are available in BMP format.

There doesn't appear to be a way to just restrict the browse button.
