I now have a black Desktop Screen for all new users

Can someone possibly help me to shed some light on a problem I seem to be having with my image?  Here is the scenario:
I installed Windows 7 x64 SP1 with Office 2013 on a VM-Patched up to date as of the composition of this message.
I created a "Student" account, all I did was launch office and IE-Nothing really out of the ordinary.
I then renamed Default to Default.bak and copied the Student profile to Default.
Joined to the domain.
Restarted, and logged in and now I have a black desktop, no wall paper or anything.  It is set on Windows Basic, 
I can go in and select any other theme and it the problem is fixed.  BUT, this will be an issue for all new users.

Hi,
What's your propose to modify the default account? To create a mandatory User Profile? If that it is, the method you used is not correct, you can refer to the contents of the link below for more details about how to create a mandatory user profile:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg241183(v=ws.10).aspx
For your black desktop problem, it is because the default Profile doesn't define any wallpaper. To avoid this problem, you need to customize the default profile by yourself. You can refer to the link below for more details about how to customize the default
user profile:

  • Get rid of registration screen for all new users...

    I have installed iWork 09 through ARD to the 20 computers in the lab. The issue is that whenever a new user logs in, it continues to ask to register. We have a lot of young students who cannot simply click 'register' later. Is there a way to disable this?
    Thanks.

    I assumes that this kind of problem must be treated with the Educational department.
    As a single user I don't know the way multiple license behave.

  • How can I set the default home page for all new users in Firefox 4

    I'm trying to deploy FF 4.0rc1 in a corporate environment but I can't find a way to set the default home page or any other settings for that matter.
    Is there a way to set the default home page for all new users and lock it so that the users can't change home page?
    Best regards
    Jonas

    In Firefox 4 the template folder for new profiles (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\defaults\profile\
    ) doesn't exist. You can create that \defaults\profile\ folder and place a file user.js in it with the prefs that you want to initialize.
    See:
    *http://www-archive.mozilla.org/catalog/end-user/customizing/briefprefs.html
    You can also use a mozilla.cfg file to set the default value for prefs.<br />
    See: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locking_preferences
    defaultPref(); // set new default value
    pref(); // set pref, but allow changes
    lockPref(); // lock pref, disallow changes

  • Customise desktop background for all network user accounts

    Hi,
    I have 12 MAC OS X 10.6 Clients on A Windows 2008 R2 Server. I cannot use Group Policies from Active Directory to customise my default user desktops on the MACs. Can I do this from the MAC stations? It has to work for network users not just local accounts?
    Thanks,
    Tim

    If you're looking to make a desktop background universal and system wide regardless of user, then it's easy. The default user folder is in /System/Library/User\ Template
    It's protected from access unless you're logged in as root, either in the gui or terminal.
    Just change the pertenant preference file in the Library folder to reflect your new desktop background and all should be well.  Any time a NEW user logs in, when their home folder is created, it will include that desktop background pref file. 
    If you're running the magic triangle, then you just have to set that preference in Workgroup Manager.
    If you're not sure or comfortable with this, then write back and we'll help you further.  More info on your server set up etc would be helpful in this regard.

  • Deactivating StarOffice 8 Registration Screen for All Future Users

    I have found documentation from Sun on how to deactivate the registration screen for StarOffice 8, however it is assuming the user folders already exist.
    I need a solution for any future user of that PC; the PCs are in a school district, if every K-12 student sees this registration screen, we will have confusion on what steps they need to follow to get past these screens. This summer we are hoping to move away from MSOffice completely, however this is an issue that seems to be in our way.
    Here are the steps from Sun to deactivate if the user folder exists:
    On the step 3 User Name page, leave the user information boxes empty.
    On the step 4 Registration page, select I do not want to register, and then click the Finish button.
    Create an archive file of the StarOffice 8 user directory.
    Unpack the archive into the user directories where you want to deactivate the
    Registration Wizard.
    Our PCs do not have a folder for every possible student that would ever sign onto the PC, that would number into the thousands. Am I overlooking something or not seeing this solution clearly?

    Hello!
    I think this procedure works on WinXP:
    After installation start StarOffice and make your settings (ie file formats, fonts and so on). Close SO8
    Go to C:\documents and settings\your account\Application data\StarOffice8. Delete the file .lock.
    Copy the folder C:\documents and settings\your account\Application data\StarOffice8 to C:\documents and settings\Default user\Application data\(and to ......\All users\application data)
    Make sure there is no file .lock in the copied folders.

  • How do I permanently STOP the Bing Suggested Sites icon from being in the IE 9 toolbar for everyone and make it the default for all new users

    Non of the other post on this subject were correctly answered and they are now old so here is a new thread for a question that a Microsoft Engineer should have answered a long time ago in one of the other threads.
     I have IE 9 installed.
    I am setting up my default profile which will be used for ALL users to configure their profile when they log on. All profiles are destroyed on system reboot. All PCs are frozen.
    Every time I log in as a new user and open IE 9, the favorites bar shows up as I want it with NO BING Suggested Site crapware in site. Then about .5 secs after IE starts and the Favorites bar is shown, the EVIL "Bing Suggested Sites" button appears.
     I can delete it and it seems to stay away until I delete the users profile folder etc and have them log in again. When the profile is recreated the Favorites folder does not have a "Suggested Sites" option in the c:\users\username\favorites\links"
    folder. (I have deleted the hidden .ini files in the default folder) Nor does one exist in the "c:\users\default\favorites\links" folder from which the newly created user profile folder comes. But as soon as I start IE 9, one is created and placed
    in the users favorites links folder. This MUST STOP!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is UNACCEPTABLE. AND IT MUST BE STOPPED!!!!! Where in the Windows 7 x64 Enterprise OS is the location of this evil action and how do I PERMANENTLY delete it.
    I don't EVER want to see the EVIL BING Suggested Sites button anywhere on the PC especially in the Favorites Tool bar on IE 9. An I expect/demand that Microsoft tell us how to 100% cannot fail get rid of it for ALL USERS FOREVER NO MATTER WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!! I
    have spent a lot of time perfecting my default profile making sur that ALL options are decide by me NOT MICROSOFT. I NEVER USE SYSPREP as that will destroy ALL custom defaults every time.
    When a user logs in in to one of my PCs and they start IE 9 they get REAL Google for the default search engine, not the version Microsoft will give you which first sends all search requests to Microsoft so they can spy on what you searched in Google for etc.,
    but real Google, not sent to Microsoft 1st. (I'll bet more than 90% of the readers of this site did not notice how if you let Microsoft set your default search provider to Google, they fix it so that all search requests go to Microsoft 1st, before it gets
    sent to Google. Look at the search string under manage your search providers, in IE 7 & 8. In IE 9 it is hidden, but still there. HOW EVIL OF MICROSOFT)
    With my default profile IE does not ask how you want to set it up, I have already made those decisions. I have made all those decisions for my users. But as of recently I have started installing IE 9 and now this unacceptable BING Suggested Sites junk ware
    keeps showing up. HOW DO I STOP IT. Do I have to put a line in my HOSTS file to send all request for Bing.com to 127.0.0.1 just to make sure that it can't be used. There by removing all possibility of my users ever being able to use Bing FOREVER.
    I would rather not do that but unless a Microsoft representative will tell me how to keep that useless Bing Suggested Sites button from appearing on the Favorites tool bar I will have to. I would love to let my user decide if they want to use Bing and waist
    their time trying to find good search results, but I will not have it forced on them and I will not allow it to be on the Favorites tool Bar ever. So will a Microsoft Engineer please tell us how to put a permanent end to the "Bing Suggested Sites"
    button for ALL users ALWAYS FOREVER.
    Thanks,
    Ralph

    I suggest you try the steps in this thread for test:

  • Edit gnome menu globaly (for all new users)?

    Is there some let say clean way to edit default gnome menu entries for new users?
    I know about alacarte, but it edits just users menu.
    What exactly I need, Im preparing a unified arch desktop fot a lot of computers in our office. And I will copy the prepared desktop to all the computers edit things that are host specific and create new user. But 95% users will use 30% of same menu entries, the rest entries are useless for them. I dont want to edit menu for each new single user. But there are let say few users that will use much of the entries, but it is not problem to enable that for few specific users (alse those understand what they are doing so they could do it themselves).
    I was thinking about that like gconf editor for global settings. 
    My workaround will be to copy to every new created user prepared ./.config/menus ./.local/share but I isnt so much elegant:(
    Or maybe there are same files somewhere global but I dont know where (I will replace them with the prepared one)
    Thats why Im asking.

    You could take a look at: /usr/share/applications

    We don’t need to run this script on all the server. Just once is enough. For the problematic users, you can use Set-CASMailbox –id user |FL to check if the restrictions are applied

  • Can we have two different logon screen for the Portal

    Can we have two different logon screens for the Portal?
    We should split the Logon application in two different applications:
    Login # 1
    should be read a DataSource.XML reading the Active Directory (Microsoft), to read-only the profiles from the AD, and block some IP address range.
    Login # 2
    should be read a DataSource.XML reading the Portal user only
    Is this possible?

    Hello Developer,
    Did you find an answer to this problem. I also have a similar issue at hand and am wondering if anybody has a solution for this.

  • I hit erase all content settings and now phones been on that screen for hours

    I hit erase all content and settings and now phones been on that screen for hours

    Depending on the size of the data you want to erase, this might take a little longer than expected.
    If the phone is frozen, try to reset it by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Appel logo comeback again.
    You can also try to set it back to factory settings by following the steps mentioned in this article:

  • HT201401 Why does my 3GS have a white screen sometimes, and I have to lock the screen for it to go back to lock screen?

    Why does my 3GS have a white screen sometimes, and I have to lock the screen for it to go back to lock screen? Sometimes I have to attempt the lock screen several times, and it still doesn't work. I, then, attempt to restart it by powering it down, and the lock screen will appear again. The display goes out sometimes while I am on a call, and I can't hang up. I have to go through this hole process over and over again.

    The Basic Troubleshooting Steps are:
    Restart... Reset... Restore from Backup...  Restore as New...

  • How to get One Selection Screen for all queries?

    Hi Experts,
    I have three queries having selection screens. All the selection screen have the same variables, but the reports are different.
    I have created a workbook having these three queries. Each time when the workbook opens, the three selection screen pops up one after the another. Same values are entered in all the selection screens.
    Now the user wants only one selection screen for all the three reports. Is it possible? I tried but I do not see any way.
    I think there should be some way of getting it done.
    Waiting for your inputs,
    With kind regards,
    Shreeem

    Hi
    If a workbook contains multiple queries that use the same variable, you are prompted to enter the variable values again for each query. To avoid this, set the Display Duplicate Variables Only Once flag.
    Goto Workbook Settings>Under Variables Tab>select Display Duplicate Variables only Once
