I wish to include a desktop background in my build. I am able to apply my
image into my build but how do I specify in my build for this image to used
as my Desktop Background image without having to do any post install
configuring?

Thanks
 
KM,

I already tried these method of adding any of these two registries, but
still doesnt work for me. I check the the Desktop in Display Properties, and
the file appears as a possible background. But it doesnt work. Any
suggestions?

Thanks in advance...

To summarize:
The registry entry you want to preset in TD is as follows:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop],"Wallpaper"=Reg_sz:<path to image>

To affect all users:
[HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Desktop],"Wallpaper"=Reg_sz:<path to image>

That registry entry can be overwritten in the reg section of "Win32 API - User" component.

Just to make sure we are on the same page.

You set the Wallpaper string entry under the HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT branch, not just HKCU, right?
That would be important to change the wallpaper screen that is shown *before* user login.

Otherwise, please specify what exactly you set up and what does not work at run time.

Thanks a lot KM. I did that, but now its only working with 16-color images.
Don't know why. Have to check the resolution and characteristics of my
graphics controller.
