Hi there,

I'm trying to delete the users wallpapers using:
WRITEVALUE("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop","Wallpaper"," ","REG_SZ")
on NT this works fine, but on 95 this has no effect. Active Desktop is disabled. Also tried: WriteValue("HKEY_USERS\.Default\Control Panel\desktop","Wallpaper"," ","reg_SZ")

any ideas, anyone ?

has this machine separate user profiles enabled?
if so, check also that the desktop is also unique...

cheers,

Dear,

The registry settings aren't the only place for wallpaper information.
The file c:\windows\win.ini contains also information.
f.e. without wallpaper

quote:

[Desktop]
Wallpaper=(None)
TileWallpaper=1
WallpaperStyle=0
Pattern=(None)


f.e. with wallpaper
quote:

[Desktop]
Wallpaper=C:\WINDOWS\CARVED~1.BMP
TileWallpaper=1
WallpaperStyle=0
Pattern=(None)


During the activation "windows makes an internal program call". Normally
after a restart the selected wallpaper becomes active.
greetings.
