Make your Desktop Background permanent in Vista  

If you like your desktop background wallpaper and don't want anybody to change it then this tutotrial will be useful for you. The tutorial consists of two steps:  

1. Removing the Desktop Background option from the Personalize appearance and sounds screen.  
2. Disabling the Set as Desktop Background option which appears on right-clicking an image.

But before doing that you shud set your favourite wallpaper on desktop.

Here's how you can do this>>>


1.Removing the Desktop Background option

  • Click on the Start button
  • Type gpedit.msc in the search box and hit Enter. This will open Local Group Policy Editor.
  • In the left pane, navigate to User Configuration>>Administrative Templates>>Control Panel>>Display.
  • In the right pane, double-click on Prevent changing wallpaper.


 

 

  •  In the dialog box that appears, click on Enabled and then OK but don't close GPEditor.


 2. Disabling the Set as Desktop Background option

  • In the left pane of the local group policy editor, navigate to User Configuration>>Administrative Templates>>Desktop>>Desktop

 

 

  • Moving into the right pane, double-click on Desktop Wallpaper.
  • Click on Enabled radio button.
  • In the Wallpaper Name field, type the full path of the wallpaper you want to display.
  • In the Wallpaper Style field, select whether you want the wallpaper to be in Center, Stretch, or Tile style.
  • Click OK and exit the Local Group Policy Editor.
  • Reboot your system to reflect the changes.
