MAC-DUFF Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 Hi everybody,I want to change the location of the wallpaper which is by default "Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft" to "Application Data\Microsoft" because so it will be saved with roamin profile. I dont want just to change the path everytime if I use a new wallpaper.cu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mau-yong Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 Open the registry and start here:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion, edit WallPaperDir to where you want the wallpapers will be located.Please note that even after "pointing" (by editing WallPaperDir) to where your preferred wallpaper location and in addition, the wallpapers at C:\WINDOWS\Web\Wallpaper (or %windir%\Web\Wallpaper) are also used.

MAC-DUFF Posted March 31, 2007 Author Share Posted March 31, 2007 Hi,thanks for your reply but somewhere must be written that a Wallpaper1.bmp is copied to that location. As alternative I can write a script which copies that wallpaper and edits the reg value Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mau-yong Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 I forgot to mention that your new location must already contain wallpapers (.jpg or .bmp's). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
