Disable Wallpaper Change in Windows 7

Desktop wallpaper can be restricted and can be set against any change for

wallpaper. Often Administrators in an organization feels their need to put

their Organization wallpaper on their computer which is fixed and cannot

be changed by any other user on that computer. This can be done easily

using a Group policy editor setting. Although the same can be done with

Registry, Third party Software. This setting lets you specify the wallpaper on

user‟s desktops and prevents users from changing the image or its

presentation.

Open Run Dialogue Box (Win + R) and type gpedit.msc

Navigate to Local Computer policy > User Configuration >

Administrative Templates > Desktop in left hand side pane.

 Select Desktop Wallpaper setting from right side pane.

 Open it and enable it.

 To use this setting, type the fully qualified path and name of the file

that stores the wallpaper image. You can type a local path, such as

C:\Windows\web\wallpaper\home.jpg. Also this setting specifies that

the wallpaper image be centered, tiled, or stretched.

 Press OK
