yong2579 Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 Hey guys, I try to remove the desktop wallpaper by running registry tweaks during the T-13 portion of windows unattended installation so that all accounts that log on the computer will not have a wallpaper. Below is the code i use to remove the wallpaper.[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop]"Wallpaper"=""However when the computer boots, the wallpaper BLISS.BMP is still being loaded! How come?

Vann Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 I think XP uses Internet Explorer to manage wallpapers. Try changingHKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Desktop\General\Wallpaper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yong2579 Posted July 14, 2004 Author Share Posted July 14, 2004 hey vann, i try your solution but it also din work' i try to add it at T-13 but it din work either' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willpantin Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 Did you try just renaming "bliss.jp_ "and/or "bliss.bm_"? Change it to something like "hills.bm_", that way I believe it will not assign a wallpaper to the Desktop. Or does it do so anyway?If it works, people can still have that Wallpaper available, it's just that they will choose it by its new name... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denney Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 Have you tried importing the registry edit via RunOnceEx? I find that some registry edits aren't carried over when you create new accounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yong2579 Posted July 14, 2004 Author Share Posted July 14, 2004 Basically what I does is using adding the registry keys into RunOnceEx, then calling "rundll32 ruieonce.dll,RunOnceEx" <-- something like that, can't remember to execute the RunOnceEx during T-13 to have a slick look instead of a command prompt look. this mean at T-13, the registry keys have been added using RunOnceEx. But it still didn't work... Sighz... and the VisualEffectsFx which i post on another thread also aren't working... Also Willpantin, i dun wish to rename the file, i understand doing this will work, but then i want users to be able to find the file easily in the future. I mean noone will know hills.bmp is actually bliss.bmp which they are already so customized to... but thanks for your solution too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denney Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 Try applying the registry tweak during T-13 (it's a CurrentUser tweak)...http://unattended.msfn.org/xp/hkcu_registry.htmThat will tell you how to do it. Try that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willpantin Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 I mean no one will know hills.bmp is actually bliss.bmpYong,You could rename it "bliss1.bmp", or "blisss.bmp". People should figure it out then, plus you get a preview window when looking at Wallpapers.I don't mean this in a mean way, but is it just me, or does anyone else out here also think that perhaps bliss.bmp is probably the ugliest of all the Wallpapers? I actually chose a different Wallpaper that I actually liked, as a default for my Unattended CD. And that better Wallpaper was renamed to bliss.bm_, thus saving me the agravation of finding out where to change any settings for a different name to be loaded. Well, Yong, good luck, I hope you get it all the way you want it. The truth is, there's nothing like the feeling of getting it all working perfectly, as your heart desires. And it took me about a year to reach that level of satisfaction...!I never quite got Norton Antivirus as Unattended as I would like, but I can live with that. I just have to go through the NAV registration screens after the whole Unattended completes, a bit of a nuisance, but I am not good enough to automate this with a script file, biggest problem being different speeds, or timing, on my different computers... Also, NAV can mistake .JS script files for Viruses (or an attempt to install a virus).Ooops! Bit of a ramble. Sorry... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yong2579 Posted July 15, 2004 Author Share Posted July 15, 2004 haha it's ok dude' i always like to pour out my trouble to any of my friend who happen to be my victim' but it sure feel good to have some one to share with u! hehz' anyway i will try to find some other way to do it, cuz i can't rename it since some computer will have background while some dun have. Reasons is cause for the low-end, i be removing it, for the high-end, i will placing it. I hope someone can give me a solution! Regarding RaveRod, i already try it le... i doesn't work, i think is the registry key that got problem, not the timing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phyridean Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 I don't mean this in a mean way, but is it just me, or does anyone else out here also think that perhaps bliss.bmp is probably the ugliest of all the Wallpapers? Right-ee-o UGLY!But you could just take whatever installation you have right now and open "luna.theme" in %windir%\resources\themes and edit it with notepad to get rid of all of the bliss, and then put that in $oem$\$$\resources\themes and it should replace the original, and apply it whenever someone logs on...Good luck getting rid of that once-beautiful but now-abhorrent wallpaper...
