Is there a way to lock your wallpaper? I would like to know, since some of my family members like to change my wallpaper every so often 🙂
i dont know about locking your wallpaper, but you could just lock your user account so they can’t login to your account (assuming you have XP)
First set the wallpaper exactly how you want it.
Start > Run > Type “regedit” > Run.
Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER Software Microsoft Windows CurrentVersion Policies ActiveDesktop.
Right-click in right pane and select New DWORD Value.
Name this new DWORD NoChangingWallpaper and set the value to be 1.
Reboot your computer. The wallpaper option should be disabled. To re-enable it, set the DWORD value to be 0 or delete the DWORD altogether (don’t forget to reboot).
Active desktop isn’t there, spike. I’m using windows 2000 (:() by the way.
Instead of ActiveDesktop, is “Explorer” there? If so, put it in there. (Ideally you should be using Windows XP, this hasn’t been tested on Win2k)
