.reg files do not accept variables. It has to be the full path. i'm running into some similar problems. from cmdlines.txt i add a bunch of registry tweaks (which work, at least most of them). one is: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop] "TileWallpaper"="0" "Wallpaper"="%SystemRoot%\\Web\\Wallpaper\\Grassy.bmp" "WallpaperStyle"="2" i have also tried this with [HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Desktop]. it does not set the login background to Grassy.bmp. on the other hand, it is set to autologin and sets the admin background to Grassy. during this autologin, i add another reg tweak via [GuiRunOnce] to set the administrator background to something different: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop] "TileWallpaper"="0" "Wallpaper"="%SystemRoot%\\Web\\Wallpaper\\Access.bmp" "WallpaperStyle"="2" the result once i manually login is that .DEFAULT has wallpaper set to nothing in the registy while admin is still set to Grassy, not Access. if i manually run the tweaks after installed, they work. my conclusion is that .DEFAULT is being reset at some point after cmdlines.txt is called. does anybody know anything about this? i'll try full path's, though the background is currently showing with %SystemRoot% in the registry and i would think that would be technically more correct since %SystemRoot% seems to be interpreted correctly when windows reads it from the registry. thanks for any thoughts, kyle
