It happens to us every now and then when GPO doesn't apply. I just
delete the profile that has the offending wallpaper. We have a very
simple DOS client environment (no e-mail,mapped drives) so adding an
icon or two back to the desktop folder is no big deal.
Isn't it fun trying to fix a locked down PC?
I have internet kiosks. My favorite Yosemite Sam quote "I keeps
a'lightin' em and he keeps a'blowin em out" always coming to mind when I
find something new they've found they can do to those poor kiosks.

Bah, I'm replying to myself, but thinking about it and delving into
the registry on the console, I could probably remove it from their
hive, if they were logged on, couldnt I? (duh)
Well, only 20mins til hometime!
