Thanks for the link but I have already looked there.
But im not trying to change the default baggrund, I simply want to include 3
more wallpapers to the standard wallpapers. I know how to include the files,
but how do I make it show up in Control Panel -> Display -> Desktop -> under
Background

Anders,

Investigate...

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Wallpap
er

You may need to add your wallpapers to the list on XP Pro, export the key,
and add it to your runtime.

HTH,

AFAIK to make your wallpapers be available in Desktop tab of Display
Properties window all you need is to put your bmps in %systemroot% of your
image. You can do this in TD or after building an image.
If your mean that wallpapers do not show up in Desktop tab after putting
them in %systemroot% well it is probably due to format of pictures. Convert
them to bmp.

Anders,

The following key contains the Wallpaper dir where applet is enumerating the picture files (bmps, jpgs, etc.):
[HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion],"WallPaperDir" (REG_SZ).
Default = "%SystemRoot%\Web\Wallpaper".

Use the reg value to set up a directory you need for the wallpaper graphic files and include the graphics to your image under that
directory.
