Default Background

[nshah786]

Hey guys,

How do I make the default background black instead of the usual green hill and sky?

Where in the WINNT.SIF file do I add the the command and what is the correct command?

Thanks a lot,

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

;Wallpaper before and After Login

[HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Desktop]

"Wallpaper"="C:\\Windows\\xxx.bmp"

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop]

"Wallpaper"="C:\\Windows\\xxx.bmp"

$OEM$\$$\xx.bmp

is not better like this path

$OEM$\$$\Web\Wallpaper\xxx.bmp

I do this way.

Personally, I would suggest just setting it up the way you want it in Windows, and then save your theme, andthen just assign that theme as the default by using:

[Shell]
    CustomDefaultThemeFile="%Systemroot%\Resources\Themes\default.theme"

and that'll set it up exactly the way you want it!

Ok, I put the wallpaper in this map on my setup-CD.

$OEM$\$$\Web\Wallpaper\xxx.bmp

Question 1:

But where do I have to put the lines below?

In the winnt.sif?

As a CMD-file?

as a REG-file?

Question 2:

And can we change the C: in %systemdrive%

;Wallpaper before and After Login

[HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Desktop]

"Wallpaper"="C:\Windows\web\wallpaper\xxx.bmp"

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop]

"Wallpaper"="C:\Windows\web\wallpaper\xxx.bmp"

Please give me and others a clear answer.

Thanx,

Converted to a cmd file

reg add "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop" /v Wallpaper /t reg_expand_sz /d %systemroot%\web\wallpaper\xxx.bmp /f
reg add "HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Desktop" /v Wallpaper /t reg_expand_sz /d %systemroot%\web\wallpaper\xxx.bmp /f

edit: So you have a variable option.

Thanx! I will try this with the CMD-lines.
