Change default Windows background during deployment

I have a Windows deployment server up and running and deploying custom Windows 7&8 images which all work fine. I want to be able to change the default Windows background to a custom image during deployment so when a new user is created and logs in locally,
my image is displayed rather than the default one. I know this can be done by changing an entry in the registry, but I would like some help in creating a script to do this during deployment and also where this script would have to be placed and how to run
this. I am a noob at scripting and any help would be appreciated! ;)
Thanks in advance

I am using the process documented at the link below in my builds today with a lot of success. In addition to setting the background for every user, it will also allow for setting the colors and accents. Pretty good stuff from the guys at CoreTech.

  • Changing monitor window background colors?

    I've recently switched to Premiere Pro CS4 from Premiere 6.5.  I animate a lot of still images.  When rotating them or reducing their size, the default black background color in the monitor window is sometimes revealed.  How do I sample a color from the still image and change the monitor window's background color to match it?

    It would seem odd that such a basic and useful function would be deleted from the program.  After Effects still has this function, so why wouldn't the new Premiere?
    Unfortunately, I doubt that anyone here can answer that question for you, as we're all just users.
    I would strongly suggest that you file a Feature Request for that to be reinstated in the next version.
    Good luck,

  • How  to change default window size?

    I'm using MX 6.0 on Mac... For some reason I can't figure out
    how to change the default window size in the work windows. Every
    time I open a new file to work on it opens to a smaller size than
    the actual page is. When opening pages dozens of times a day, it
    gets annoying to have to resize each time. I'm sure it wasn't
    always like this, but I can't figure out how to change it so the
    default size that it opens to each time is larger.
    Thanks for any help,

  • Change default toolbar background from dark gray to light gray?

    How do I change the default toolbar background from dark gray to light gray in illustrator CS6?
    In the older versions, the toolbar backgrounds were light gray. It easier to read on light gray backgrounds.
    THe same question applies to Photoshop CS6. InDesign CS6 has light gray backgrounds.
    thanks

    I should have looked a little harder for the answer.
    To change the interface background color to another shade of gray in Photoshop go to:

    The same method applies to Illustrator.

  • [Solved] Change default leaf background when unlocking screen in Gnome

    This is kinda silly, but how do I change the default desktop background when unlocking screen in gnome?, its always that annoying green leaf background, how can I make it my wallpaper instead?

    See the Gnome_Tips wiki article which contains the answer to this and other questions
    Change the Default Background Image
    The default background is that zoomed in picture of a green leaf. It appears for newly created users, but more importantly, this is the image shown when the screen is locked. As of 25-Apr-2009, you can find this image here
    /usr/share/pixmaps/backgrounds/gnome/background-default.jpg
    To change it, simply copy your favorite image to this locate (as root) and rename it.

  • Change Default Media Location During Installation

    Hello Everyone,
    I'm currently working on installing iTunes using command lines to push it to multiple computers in the organization I work for. However, we would like to change the default media location to C:/iTunes (as an example) during installation, instead of it being created in \\server\user\music\iTunes (example). We'd like to change it so it's not storing files on the server and not taking up space on people's personal work shares.
    I searched other discussions and Google'd it, but I couldn't find a definitive answer.
    We use Windows 7 x64 operating system if that needs to be known.

    Hmm, no one here has any idea if this can be done?

  • Changing default Work Center during CATS time entry

    Hi Folks,
    I am hoping someone here can throw some expert advice.
    Currently during time entry in CATS, we have Work Center coming in from the Work Order. Its getting defaulted without any option to change it. Business here has a need to change it. I have llooked into the CATS profile to see if there is a place that enable the WC to be defaulted.
    In Transaction CAC1, there is a section that shows what fields are being defaulted during CAT2 time entry. However I do not see the Work Center as one of the option there.
    Can any one help?
    In short, where do we disable the defaulting of the WC from the Word Order during time entry?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    Adding to what Kapil said; if the work centre is a grayed out in time shet screen then you can go to CAC2 transaction and make it editable. By this way users will be able to change the work centre on screen.

  • Change tmp directory used during deploying BPEL

    Hi,
    We need to be able to deploy BPEL processes using ANT but use a different temporary directory from the default being /tmp on Linux. We are using BPEL 10.1.3.4 on OAS. This is because we have different oracle accounts and homes on the same host.
    I don't see a way to change in the build.xml file the <bpelc task to specify a temp directory.
    I see in the bpelc commonad line there is the -b option but not in the build.xml
    We get the error:
    org.apache.commons.fileupload.FileUploadException: Processing of multipart/form-data request failed. /tmp/upload_00000002.tmp (Permission denied)
    This is becuase the other oracle account own this file with Read only for everyone else.
    I changed the permission to Write for all for the upload files and was able to deploy but these files are removed on reboots and so the deployment will get the same issue again. Also the number of upload files will grow.
    Please let me know if you know a solution to specify in a specific tmp directory.
    Thanks

    The metalink note solved the issue. Had to do BOTH outllined changes.

  • Changing default security policy during install

    Hi
    I have a requirement to automate the install of oracle 11.2 for training purposes but the new default password policies are causing a few problems.
    Does anyone know how to change the default password policy (post-install) to the alternative setting of "Use policy specified in Workspace Password Policy" from within a pl/sql script?
    We don't need the strong password policies for the training and after each session the system is re-installed.

    Not during install. iTunes folder is always in My Documents but you can tell iTunes to store the media files elsewhere. After library file (.itl) has been created, can even move it to somewhere else.

  • Change default storage location during creation of PO

    Hello all,
    I have the following question.
    When creating a purchase order using ME21N and filling in the items, the storage location is retreived from the material masterdata and displayed as default.
    I need to change this default, because the storage location must be determined in another way.
    So when entering the values for the item in the screen, another Stloc needs to be determined and displayed, overwriting the Stloc from the material master data.
    For this I probably need a BAPI.
    Can anyone tell me which BAPI to use and how I can implement this?
    Because I also no experience with BAPI's.
    Thanks in advance.
    Kind regards,

    Hi Van,
    You need to goto SE18 -> give 'ME_PROCESS_PO_CUST'  in BADI Name - > Click on Enhancement Implementation at the header -> Create -> Give some implementation name starts with 'Z ->provide some short description -> Here you need to click on 'Interface' tab -> and double click on the method which serves your purpose.
    I think you need to do the enhancement for storage location so you need to use the method 'PROCESS_ITEM'.

  • Changing default window manager

    Is there a way to use Gnome or KDE as default desktop environment on my current build of mac os x (10.4.9)?

    Hi B1|\|ARY,
       You can use a desktop manager with Apple's X11 but it runs inside X11 and doesn't replace Aqua. It's simply a matter of what you execute in your xinitrc file. Apple starts the Quartz window manager by "execing" the quartz-wm executable in the /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc file. However, you can copy that to a ~/.xinitrc and the copy will by used instead. Then you can comment out the "exec quartz-wm" line and replace it with the command that starts your preferred desktop manager. For instance, to start gnome, you would make the last command in that file:
    exec gnome-session
    Of course you might need to use an absolute path.
       You can then set the window manager in the configuration of the desktop manager. However, if you're not going to use the Quartz window manager then I recommend that you include the following line before the "exec" line:
    /usr/X11R6/bin/quartz-wm --only-proxy &
    This will allow you to still use Apple's cut-and-paste mechanism, such as it is, with their X11.
