Can please somebody help me to change wallpaper..?


Recommended Posts

I tried this way:

$OEM$\$$\Web\Wallpaper\123.jpg (it's copied to windows folder fine)

$OEM$\$$\Resources\Themes\123.Theme (it's copied to windows folder fine too)

winnt.sif:

[Shell]
CustomDefaultThemeFile="%WinDir%\Resources\Themes\123.Theme"

123.Theme:

; Copyright © Microsoft Corp. 1995-2001

[Control Panel\Desktop]
Wallpaper=%WinDir%\Web\Wallpaper\Cobra computers.jpg
TileWallpaper=0
WallpaperStyle=2
Pattern=
ScreenSaveActive=0

And it's doesnt work... :( So what is the problem?

Your file is "123.jpg" and your theme looks for "Cobra Computers.jpg"...

You need to change one of these names to match the other.

I recommend you to use a file name witout spaces that follow the 8.3 restriction, like "Cobra.jpg" (this is required if you launch the install from ms-dos)

It doesn't support environment variables in the registry - well not in that section anyway. So you might have to make a batch file that translates %WinDir% to the windows dir and some REG ADD commands.

An easier way, use an inf file to add the reg file!

T D, you're wrong : both this winnt.sif line and this whathever.theme line supports the environment variable (for the theme file, that's the way the control panel writes the .theme file)

Cobra, i don't know. I use %systemroot% instead of %windir%, but everything else is identical in my setup (without spaces), and it works... i'm sorry for this helpless post :(

I meant the regfile, under

Wallpaper=%WinDir%\Web\Wallpaper\Cobra computers.jpg

I've tried variables in that but it didn't work, so i used reg add.

I didn't say anything about it not working in winnt.sif... ;)
