This will set the default wallpaper for all users who login to a Windows 7 machine.
First, login to the machine with an Administrator level account.
Open up regedit.
Load the Default profile ntuser.dat. (see http://jim-zimmerman.com/?p=196)
I loaded the hive using JGZ for the name. Navigate to:
[HKEY_USERS\JGZ\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies]
Note: If you do not have a System key under Policies, create one now.
[HKEY_USERS\JGZ\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
Then, in the System key, add the following two String Values:
“Wallpaper”=”C:\\Windows\\Web\\Wallpaper\\mydirectory\\myimage”
“WallpaperStyle”=”4”
Note: I put my wallpaper in a subdirectory I created in the Wallpaper directory.
Unload the Default hive, and reboot.
