The BMP files can be removed with the following lines in your winnt.sif

[Components]
deskpaper=off

Th JPG files are installed as part of Active Desktop.

BTW Your wallpapers should be in \$OEM$\$$\Web\Wallpaper

@ zbarre cheers for the info on acrobat but i got that installing unattended using

%systemdrive%\install\Applications\AdobeReader\AcroPro.msi /qb-!

what im wanting to know is how do i get my own wallpapers to show in the desktop properties on my unattended disc

at the minute ive got the new wallpapers as jpeg format in the following

$OEM$\$$\Web\Wallpaper, there all set to 1600 by 1200

is this the correct folder to put them to show up in desktop properties and is it the correct format, will they have to be bmp to show up?

thanx
