Windows Control Panel Desktop Background Regedit Tutorial<\/p><\/div>\n

One of the easiest ways to personalize your Windows desktop is to configure your Desktop Background in the Control Panel area of functionality.<\/p>\n

You can have a desktop background that is like a slideshow where you control the time between slides, or you can just have the one photo or image. It is tailorable at a user level. By this, we mean that one user can have a different desktop background arrangement to another user.<\/p>\n

As this can affect the power used by a laptop running on battery you can control whether the laptop desktop background toggles between images where it is running on battery only.<\/p>\n

Wouldn’t a solar powered laptop be great? As you might expect this is not a dream, but is just unusual … but wasn’t Phyllis Diller<\/a> unusual? … we rest our case … read more here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

So please enjoy our tutorial<\/a> showing the Control Panel view of configuring a Desktop Background on Windows 7.<\/p>\n

And so we come to the second part of the tutorial … viewing how the Desktop Background is stored in the Windows Registry<\/a>. We consult this useful link<\/a> to examine how Control Panel Desktop Backgrounds function “behind the scenes” with our Windows version, via the regedit<\/a> command. We even attempt to change it by copying another image into the image filename we glean from this (see the unsuccessful copytowallpaper.bat<\/a>) second part of today’s tutorial<\/a>. Hope you learn some things with this about Windows Registry, if all this is new to you. If your knowledge is not good, Windows Registry is not a place to do things you know nothing about … please be careful.<\/p>\n

Hope to see you again soon.<\/p>\n
