Question about backgrounds

[Guest twilson148]

There is the background for the desktop, which is set by right-clicking the

desktop, selecting properties, and setting a wallpaper for the desktop. What

determines the background/wallpaper that is there behind the login dialog box

(like for example if one selects screen saver password-protected. Then, in

that case, I have a background, and I don't know where it came from. More

accurately, I know where it came from (I remember selecting the image), but I

don't know how I set it or how I can change it.

The Logon wallpaper setting is held in the machine profile at:

HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Desktop

Re: Question about backgrounds

 

Two systems. Desktop and active desktop. Desktop is for BMP and GIFs.

If you want to see a JPG, the actve desktop turns on.

 

Try right clicking the background and selecting properties. Go to the

page marked WEB and uncheck the the box "Show web content"
