tAKTelapis Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Hi All, Recently users have been setting wallpapers on the public computers, Despite the Group Policy not allowing it, they are using third party applications (Such as Irfan view etc) To that end, I came up with this to allow the staff member to easily remove the wallpaper: RegWrite("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\", "Wallpaper", "REG_SZ", "") Sleep(10) Run("RUNDLL32.EXE user32.dll,UpdatePerUserSystemParameters")oÝ÷ Øk{ âµë-êÞ+-¯)É©ÝçëzÈ^²Ø^ºÇ«±×¬Ú)1æ§x-êÞÉèàz¶°jYij«²0x"¶§«Þ¶¬m«_W°'!jYhÂËazkh{º×¢¶ð'!z÷«r©º×«¶²Â+!Ûm«ø¥yú%Ç(uá|G!¡hbr(z·hÊ°Èm¢·¬zÛa{¥©zº'±ë¦ And am copying over wall.bmp to the remote C: with the bat file aswell. Anyone have any ideas on why Removing the wallpaper works fine, But adding a new one in its place doesn't? For the record: If i run the bat file on computer A and tell it to change the wall on computer A it works if i goto computer B and tell it to change the wall on computer A it doesnt work (both computers logged in as different people) if i logon to computer A and B as the SAME person, it works fine. Yet it does not matter who is logged in when removing of a wallpaper, just when setting it... Anyone? Ill take wild guesses of things to test and try.

tAKTelapis Posted October 15, 2007 Author Share Posted October 15, 2007 Ahah, It appears that it writes to the registry key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\.DEFAULT The new background applies to the Login Screen only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weaponx Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 You should be using group policy to dissallow wallpaper changing. Also any actions performed through Psexec will be modifying YOUR HKCU entries, not the user logged into the remote system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
