Hi DR,
Take a look at the following link. This has a good discussion of managing
the user environment through GPOs.... and they just happen to use the
desktop wallpaper as their example.

This is not reliable so far though. I am testing with about 8 XP and 2000
boxes and it only works on 2 of them. It wants to bring up their home page
1st even though I specify the logo location. On the others it flashes the
logo during logon, then it removes it for a blank screen (with icons).
Furthermore- It disables the access to change background on those same
machines. Good thing this is just testing or I would have users going
crazy. Is there a hidden secret to this?
thanks again for the link/

Hi,
I have never had problems making changes to the local workstations'
backgrounds. I usually put a different background on Administrator
accounts so I can tell at a glance weather someone is part of an admin
group.
You may want to look at your loopback processing and where you are putting
the GPOs (and maybe your GPO permissions) to sort this out. I would
suggest that you do this as a separate GPO and look at the application order
before incorporating this into the GPO fabric.
