Our computers are setup to delete all information on the
Student user profiles when restarted. I am trying to
change the default wallpaper that is brought up on a
couple of computers. How do I change the default wallpaper
 
Depending on what you mean by the default wallpaper,
there are many ways...

If you are on about the wallpaper that appears when the
logon screen is showing you can do this quickly by
changing the following reg key:

HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Desktop\Wallpaper
(REG_SZ)

Remember, if you change it to point at a file in a
location that requires credentials (network share or
something) it will not be able to display anything as
this key is implemented pre-logon!

Alternatively, you may be wishing to change the wallpaper
so that it is the same for all users? Probably the best
way to do this is to set a Group Policy Object (GPO) on
the domain, assuming you are on a domain!
