Hello,
We want to prevent users to select their own background different from the
corporate background. However there seems to be a workaround. They can
right-click on an image en select the "use as background" menu item. How can
I prevent this.
Thanks in advance

Hello Stijn,

Did you try out this policy?

Hello Meinolf,
Thanks for the reply, however this policy was already set.
The problem still exists
Kind regards

The policy Meinolf described only restricts usage of the "Display" tab
method to change the wallpaper - not the wallpaper changing itself.

To really lock down the wallpaper, you'll have to switch to "Active
Desktop" and assign people a pre-defined wallpaper. See the following KB
article:
