valkyre Posted October 2, 2003 Share Posted October 2, 2003 I think it's called Wallpaper1.bmp, and it's loced in an application data folder somewhere in the Documents and Settings directory.Search for wallpaper1.bmp, see where it's located. I think you just replace that file with your chosen wallpaper during setup.Actually I'm really not sure, I'm just recalling what I've heard.

DarkBringer Posted October 2, 2003 Author Share Posted October 2, 2003 No, no, no, I need to change the wallpaper before I login.That is, before the GuiRunOnce command is executed.(I don't think you can get to the Application Data folder until you've logged in.Or I could be wrong, I don't know) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gareththegod Posted October 2, 2003 Share Posted October 2, 2003 wouldn't you have to change this in the default user account. with some kind of command in cmdlines.txt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkBringer Posted October 2, 2003 Author Share Posted October 2, 2003 Maybe. But how? Where? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted October 2, 2003 Share Posted October 2, 2003 Isn't Bliss the default Wallpaper? I'm not too sure because some of the tweaks I've used removed the wallpaper.. possibly when the welcome screen was disabled, or when the start menu and theme is changed to classic mode.

DarkBringer Posted October 2, 2003 Author Share Posted October 2, 2003 So there is no way to change it then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveXP Posted October 2, 2003 Share Posted October 2, 2003 Add this to your registry file and make sure it runs after the user account is created.[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Desktop\General]"BackupWallpaper"="c:\\windows\\web\\wallpaper\\name_of_wallpaper""Wallpaper"="c:\\windows\\web\\wallpaper\\name_of_wallpaper" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkBringer Posted October 3, 2003 Author Share Posted October 3, 2003 Will it work if I put it after the User is created but BEFORE I copy the .jpg file to theWeb\Wallpaper directory? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveXP Posted October 3, 2003 Share Posted October 3, 2003 if you put it before the user is created then it all own work on the default admin account so you MUST put it after the user account is created. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkBringer Posted October 20, 2003 Author Share Posted October 20, 2003 What finally worked for me was to rename my wallpaper BLISS.JPG then from the command prompt type: makecab BLISS.JPG to get BLISS.JP_.Then replace the BLISS.JP_ in the I386 directory with my new one. (Can't remember who suggested it but it works) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
