WinXp background wallpaper question

[Ohan Armoudian]

We are replacing the background wallpaper of all the Win XP computers with
our company's logo.
Win 95 and 98 all wallpapers were in Windows folder (it's been long time
ago).
After creating the new wallpaper (JPEG file??? not sure) where do we put the
file (jpeg, bmp or gif) so we can pick it up by right click the
desktop/property/background....
Thanks for the reply in advance

It could be anywhere when you push the wallpaper via Group Policies.

The default location is...

%windir%\Web\Wallpaper

Each logged on user has their own "My Pictures" folder. That wouldn't work in a corp.
environment.

Should we make the background jpeg??? or needs special image file.
Thanks,

Are you running in domain environment? If you are, Win2000 and Win2K3
supports this by using Group Policy. In my experience, don't use bitmap file
for the background since loading time will be slow and sometime background
won't load completely. Use jpg format, put it on a universal share on the
network and use Group Policy to point to the file on the share. Of course,
you have to refresh the policy before changes take effect.
