The default for xp is bliss which is located in

C:\WINDOWS\Web\Wallpaper

along with the other default wallpapers.

You can set a reg key in your unattended so it sets your wallpaper.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop]
"Wallpaper"="C:\\WINDOWS\\web\\wallpaper\\Bliss.bmp"
"WallpaperStyle"="2"

Change the line

"Wallpaper"="C:\\WINDOWS\\web\\wallpaper\\Bliss.bmp"

to the path of your wallpaper

Stretched wallpaper style is

"WallpaperStyle"="2"

Tiled wallpaper style is

"WallpaperStyle"="1"

IF YOU WANT TO SET THIS WALLPAPER ONLY ON YOUR ACCOUNT USE THE KEY "HKEY_CURRENT_USER" OTHERWISE USING "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE" WILL SET THE WALLPAPER ON ALL ACCOUNTS

hope this helps

Where would I change/add the reg setting for the LOCAL MACHINE. Yes, I want to change the wallpaper for all users.

Basically, I want all users, including the guest account, to have the same wallpaper. I know how to prevent changing the wallpaper (gpedit.msc), but most of the accounts have already changed their wallpapers. I am the administrator, and basically want to set all the wallpapers and then set gpedit.msc to prevent them from changing them again.

What I don't get is

IF YOU WANT TO SET THIS WALLPAPER ONLY ON YOUR ACCOUNT USE THE KEY "HKEY_CURRENT_USER" OTHERWISE USING "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE" WILL SET THE WALLPAPER ON ALL ACCOUNTS

I mean, I can't find the relative key in the LOCAL MACHINE registry table.
