I tried it but it does not work I modified the names of the files and placed it in the same directory that you had. It said that the registry write was succesfull however the background does not change

Must it be a batch file? Because you could do it easily with Winnt.sif...

how?

do u want a simple solution? just rename your wallpaper to bliss.jpg

then cab it

makecab bliss.jpg u will get bliss.jp_

put that into your I386 folder your done. Basically XP thinks it is stil

installing Bliss.jpg but in reality it is a different image.

REMEMBER: to cab it. otherwise it wont work.

after cab-bing it, how do i apply the wallpaper to stick with the new bliss.jp_?

[Astalavista]

i know what astalavista wrote ... that's what i did way back ... it WILL be copied over ... that's tested and proven ...

BUT, how do you automatically APPLY the wallpaper during Unattended Setup?

on my uA CD, the wallpaper was not applied ... so was just wondering why it didn't apply after i cab the bliss.jpg -> bliss.jp_ ...

[bmn]

got it. u have to patch ur uxtheme.dll i think.its very imp and basic step

[Cartoonite]

What theme (if any) are you applying as a part of your uA setup? Bliss.jpg will only be applied if the default Luna theme is applied.

cybpsych

are u malay or chinese?

i think bmn is correct he has not patched his wfp .

[cybpsych]

LOL, i'm chinese ...

fyi, my uA uses Classic Style, turning off all Visual Effect ...

this is what i put in my RegTweaks.reg:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VisualEffects]
"VisualFXSetting"=dword:00000002

oh and i'm not using any themes here so ...

also, i'm using RyanVM's latest v1.0.4 Update Pack, so the uxtheme.dll has been 'patched/hacked' ...

my suspect was due to the disabled Visual Effects ...

any more suggestions?
