Getting new wallpaper choice via registry import to take

[worldzfree]

I am setting up Default User profile settings when performing an unattended build of Win 7. I import the registry key while logged in as the local administrator (that will be used with copyprofile later) and import the following key

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Desktop\General]
"WallpaperSource"="C:\\Windows\\Web\\Wallpaper\\Architecture\\img17.jpg"

The strangest thing is that after that occurs I can logoff, reboot, etc. and it won't change the wallpaper. If I go into the desktop settings I see that new wallpaper selected but it's not reflected on the desktop. Has anyone seen this and have a solution?

-Cheers

To make the change in your Default User Profile, you could try this method.

See post #9 from ogatat for more details.

If you mount your WIM with DISM, you can make the change permanent and not need to run a script at all.
