March 30, 200521 yr Ok i made a "Registry Hack" .reg file and everything writes in the registry fine except this code:; Set Logon Box Background Image[HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Desktop]"Wallpaper"="C:\Windows\Web\Wallpaper\default.bmp"This is to make the default wallpaper, at the login screen, when the user logs in. When i run the .reg to install the tweak it confirms that it was added but when i goto "HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Desktop" it still says "(None)". If i manually enter "C:\Windows\Web\Wallpaper\default.bmp" instead of "(None)" it hack works fine.Why wont that registry code enter correctly into my WinXP Pro registry?Thanks in advance!

March 31, 200521 yr no, you have to use double backslashes, like this:REGEDIT4; Set Logon Box Background Image[HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Desktop]"Wallpaper"="C:\\Windows\\Web\\Wallpaper\\default.bmp"
