After a CC session users wallpaper is gone. The user has gone from a .jpg wallpaper to a monochrome color for the desktop. Any reason for this and a way to prevent?

If you are using XP the installer used is importing the following registry key:



[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\ActiveDesktop]



"NoChangingWallpaper"=dword:1



As long as this is set to = 1 windows can’t change the wallpaper.





Set the following registry key to 0 and all will work as designed.



[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\ActiveDesktop]



"NoChangingWallpaper"=dword:0



Hope this helps.
