Remote Desktop Web Connection - Disable Desktop Backgroung (Wallpaper)

[Yogi]

I have configured my Win2k server with multiple tsweb Virtual
Directories... one for each WinXP Pro desktop on the network. I then
used the MsRdpClient.AdvancedSettings2 class to set the correct port
for each respective system. I have found other methods of
AdvancedSettings2 which allow things such as drive redirection, but I
have yet to find one to disable the desktop wallpaper. How can I do
this?

Thanks,
Yogi

Does anyone know if it is possible to disable the desktop background
using the Remote Desktop Web Connection client?

Thanks,
Yogi

Check out IMsRdpClientAdvancedSettings PerformanceFlags property.

From MSDN:
PerformanceFlags
[Visual Basic]
Access: Read/Write
DataType: Long

[C++]
HRESULT put_PerformanceFlags
([in] LONG DisableList);
HRESULT get_PerformanceFlags
([out] LONG* pDisableList);

Set of features that can be set at the server to improve performance.
The default is zero (TS_PERF_DISABLE_NOTHING 0x00000000).
Other values include:
TS_PERF_DISABLE_WALLPAPER 0x00000001
TS_PERF_DISABLE_FULLWINDOWDRAG 0x00000002
TS_PERF_DISABLE_MENUANIMATIONS 0x00000004
TS_PERF_DISABLE_THEMING 0x00000008
TS_PERF_ENABLE_ENHANCED_GRAPHICS 0x00000010
TS_PERF_DISABLE_CURSOR_SHADOW 0x00000020
TS_PERF_DISABLE_CURSORSETTINGS 0x00000040

Does anyone know if it is possible to disable the desktop background
using the Remote Desktop Web Connection client?
