The VALUENAME is not the value that you want it to be, but is the value that
is in the registry that you are updating. You will put in the value when you
configure the GPO.

David,

Do you know the Registry path?
If it is under HKLM, it is CLASS MACHINE
If it is under HKCU, it is CLASS USER

type of registry key is not needed.

Derek,

it is HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Desktop

is this not useable then ? - i thought this would be the easiest way to do
this :-(

The problem is you are trying to modify the .Default, which is what all
users use to create their own profile. So, no one ever logs on with this
account. If you want to change this location in the Registry, you can't use
GPOs.
