hello. I was wondering if anyone knows the location of the config file that contains information about display properties (i.e. the desktop wallpaper)

Please respond ASAP!
 
Which registry? Is it read-only?
 
HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Desktop
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop

It is not by default read-only.
 
I'm not an expert, so I'm going to need help. Where is HKEY_USERS, and how can I access it?
 
RegEdit has a small Help file (F1) or via the Menu at the top of RegEdit, it is quite comprehensive and helpful, read that first and then these next articles.
