Răspuns custom Windows 7 background apply once once requirement

    Hi

    I have a requirment to apply a custom wallpaper (several, depending on security group membership) to workstations.

    However, it should only apply them once -- on first logon of the user, they should then be able to change the wallpaper without it reverting back to the originally applied custom wallpaper.

    Can I do this with GPO's just running the setting once

    I have a GPO that sets the hompage as a run once setting, presumably I can use this method?

    Hi,

    Myabe you could utilize Runonce key in registry to achieve your purpose. You may customize Wallpaper in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\Wallpaper then export this key=>Compose a script to merge with Registry via Runonce.

    For more information, please refer to the article below.

    Hi thanks for the reply Juke

    I think I can do it using GPO preferences

    but maybe you could answer this question

    whats is the difference/relationship between

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\Wallpaper

    and

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Desktop\General\WallpaperSource

    they both seem to set the wallpaper

    what is the authoritative location of the desktop wallpaper

    Cheers

    James

    Hi,

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Desktop\General\WallpaperSource seems it points to the Wallpaper Source path if it need to be transcoded.

    You only need to modify the registry HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\Wallpaper.

    Please see the blog below.

    yes I have reviewed the link

    and it confirms HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\Wallpaper as the source of the wallpaper configuration

    and using the GP preferences it is possible to set it as a "run once" setting

    but still unsure what the below does

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Desktop\General\WallpaperSource

    Hi,

    If the picture is a BMP file, it will be transcoded to jpg. HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\Wallpaper points to the jpg file path, HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Desktop\General\WallpaperSource points to source bmp file path.

    You have no need to change the setting in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Desktop\General\WallpaperSource.
