JSI Tip 5655. Windows XP user can change wallpaper after you implement the 'Prevent Changing wallpaper' Group Policy?

When you implement the 'Prevent changing wallpaper' Group Policy, it only prevents the use of Display Properties to change wallpaper.

To workaround this feature:

1. Start / Run / gpedit.msc / OK.

2. Navigate through Local Computer Policy / User Configuration / Administrative Templates / Desktop / Active Desktop.

3. Double-click Active Desktop Wallpaper.

4. Press Enabled on the Setting tab.

5. Type the path to the wallpaper and press OK.

NOTE: See tip 4621 » The Active Desktop Wallpaper is NOT displayed after you apply the Active Desktop Wallpaper Group Policy?
