Hi,

My company is working on customising the XP build before
a mass deployment of 8000 wks. We don't have AD yet and
still depend on NT4 servers.

Without using group policy, how can we prevent end users
from changing the corporate wallpaper and screensaver
that we have defined ?

Thks.

Peter
 
Run gpedit.msc (group policy editor), drill into user configuration,
administrattive templates, Desktop. There is a setting for changing the
wallpaper in there that should do it.
 
Wonderful ! Thks Rob.

Btw, did you get loads of emails related to MS with exe
attached in your mailbox after posting a qn here ? some
sources look dodgy.

He has munged the mail address to avoid this,
the "N0 SPaM" part of <[email protected]>

You would need to remove the "N0 SPaM" part to send him a mail.

They just not look dodgy, they ARE dodgy (Worms that has harvested your mail
address from the newsgroups). Delete them...
