default background picture for all user on a terminal server

[Larshg]

Hi I'm running a terminal server v.5

I want to put a default wallpaper on the desktop that all users get when they log on via RDP.

Thanks

I warn you that a desktop wallpaper slows remote sessions by quite a bit.

If you wish to use a desktop logo, you need to save it as a bitmap, GIF or JPEG and place the file in the /WINNT directory.

To change the default desktop settings:

Use a registry editing tool to navigate to the following key:
HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Desktop

Change or add the following value:
Data Type: REG_SZ
Value Name: Wallpaper
Value: [set to the full path of the logo]

Change or add the following value:
Data Type: REG_SZ
Value Name: TileWallpaper
Value: 0 means don't tile, 1 means tile.

Change or add the following value:
Data Type: REG_SZ
Value Name: WallpaperStyle
Value: 0 is normal, 2 is stretch to fill the screen
Please note, this is mutually exclusive with TileWallpaper

Change or add the following values:
Data Type: REG_SZ
Value Name: WallpaperOriginX and WallpaperOriginY
Value: Sets the location of the bitmap from the left side and top of the screen
These values only take effect if you specify a non-stretched, non-tiled logo
