I'm writing an installer and need to change the All Users' wallpaper. I can do this from the group policy editor GUI, but need to do so from my installer. I can't just edit the registry as it gets reset by a GPO on login.

How do I apply the relevant administrative template via programatically (preferably cmd.exe or via the registry)? (for interest, it's User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Desktop > Desktop > Desktop Wallpaper [sic]

  • Regardless of how you set the wallpaper, the GP refresh will change it (back) if there's a policy set to do so. That's kind of the point. :) – Ƭᴇcʜιᴇ007 Jun 28 '13 at 16:13
  • Also take a look at this MS document: [Group Policy Settings Reference for Windows and Windows Server](http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=25250) – Ƭᴇcʜιᴇ007 Jun 28 '13 at 16:15

are you in a domain environment? In that case, you will have to change your domain GPO.

  • Not an answer. I'm asking HOW (if possible) to change group policy. I don't happen to be in a domain environment. (But thank you.) – user234461 Jul 07 '13 at 16:05
