No Wallpaper (blue background)

[robert.curry]

I am using the following script in my $OEM$ regtweaks file and I keep getting the Bliss background (all the other tweaks seems to take just fine)

; Set the Wallpaper to the Blue Background

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop]

"Wallpaper"=""

Any advise on having the Wallpaper blanked out?

Also when I check the registry after the load, it is showing the Bliss as the background, but the reg tweak should be setting it to a blank background.

Have you disabled SFC (Windows File Protection) ? That's why you still see the bliss background .

Well, I added the following to my regtweaks and still came up with the Bliss background.

; Disable Windows File Protection

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]

"SFCSetting"=dword:ffffff9d

"SFCDisable"=dword:ffffff9d

Any other suggestions? Thanks in advance... I have searched the forums and have not had any luck without changing to the classic theme (which I do not want).

I don't know if this regtweak will disable SFC. Try to disable it via nLite . Or you can try to replace bliss.jp_ from I386 folder with you customized one.

Here is what I use, which works just fine:

;Active Desktop Safe Mode Wallpaper
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Desktop\SafeMode\General]
"Wallpaper"=hex(2):25,00,73,00,79,00,73,00,74,00,65,00,6d,00,72,00,6f,00,6f,00,\

;Current User Wallpaper

"SFCDisable"=dword:ffffff9d

Note you need a custom SFC_OS.dll for these to even work, as the inbox .dll doesn't use these settings anymore.

As to the wallpaper, I add my own during install. I have a $OEM$\$$\Web\Wallpaper folder in my source that contains my wallpaper .bmp, and I drop a .reg file in on boot that sets it in HKCU and HKU\.DEFAULT.
