Are you using Active Desktop?  Or disabling it and the user is selecting a
.gif or .jpg file?

 

Now to address the real issue.. Why are users allowed to select backgrounds
and screen savers on a Citrix/Terminal Server?

Since the last one went so well, I figured I'd share another problem with
you.  This one falls squarely under the public relations part of the job.
:-)

We are using Flex Profiles and hence an underlying mandatory profile.  The
issue is that each user logs in and sets a pretty background and then later
they logout.  The next time they login the background is gone.  Not really
gone, because if you look in the display properties and look at the desktop
tab, the background is selected, the preview is even there, but no
background on the computer.  Same thing with screensaver settings.

 

The strange thing is all of the settings are saving properly in the ops
file, they get loaded correctly. If a user checks the registry the entries
for wallpaper and screensaver are there, but they do not get applied.  It is
like the ops file cannot overwrite the default user/mandatory profile
settings.  Any ideas?
