Its great. If u r using System Policy Editor to set same wallpaper 4 all the users using Roaming Profiles, I will prefer to pls use only System Policy editor. Its very easy. Make a wallpaper & save it as Bitmap image (.bmp). Now copy this wallpaper on all computers in your domain...in c:/winnt/wallpaer.bmp. After saving this wallpaper in all computers, use system policy & add group or users & then expand "Desktop" & click "wallpaper" & give the path here "c:/winnt.wallpaper.bmp". Yes! I recommend to copy wallpaper in all computers so that when user logs on to the domain using Roaming profile, only the path of the location of wallpaper is downloaded from Server, not the wallpaper..so it prevents from Slow Network Connections. Have fun. For any problem, pls mail me. Thanx.
