    Hi,

    I can set a desktop background value in unattend and that works. But how do I set it to "Stretch" or "Fill"? As it is not filling the screen properly. Thanks.

    I have done it by using a .theme file. For example this section:

    [Control Panel\Desktop]
Wallpaper=%SystemDrive%\Downloads\background.jpg
TileWallpaper=0
WallpaperStyle=10
Pattern=

    Reference for .theme file settings, look for WallpaperStyle:

    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/bb773190%28v=vs.85%29.aspx

    And after I have created the .theme file, I execute it in FirstLogonCommands. Unfortunately for this method, it leaves the Personalize window open after deployment but it was not deemed worth my effort to make it truly unattended. So we just close that window.
