Gurus,

Have a GPO structure in place which standardizes desktop wallpaper on
Windows XP clients throughout the domain. This GPO includes many more
settings than just desktop wallpaper, and in order to minimize GPO
processing time and administrative overhead we want the minimum number of
GPOs possible. A few PCs have users which don't want the wallpaper. So I
proposed creating a batch file which runs every so often on their systems
which changes it to the wallpaper they want. Where in the registry controls
desktop wallpaper?
