For starters, you only want the computer startup script copying the
files locally. If you try to add registry keys to HKCU
(HKEY_CURRENT_USER) in the same script it is not going to get you
anywhere because it is adding those values to context of NT
AUTHORITY\SYSTEM.
Once you have the startup script successfully copying the files to
%SYSTEMROOT%, create a user configuration GPO to configure the wallpaper
and screen saver. Then you don't have to mess with adding registry keys
manually.

Well if you do want to keep everything on the network (I

OK, fair enough. In my case, if a user loses their
network connection they're not getting a start menu, desktop or anything
else, so the wallpaper is the least of their problems. :)

Because if you ever lose your network connection for
whatever reason your wallpaper will go blank. Copying it to the local
system is an extra step, but it's simple and gives you much more
consistent results. J

Why not just locate the wallpaper on a network share and
point to it via the GPO Jamie indicates below?

Well for starters, I would use a computer startup script
to copy the file to the system root folder. It will run under the NT
AUTHORITY\SYSTEM context and should have all the rights you need. Or, if
you have the Group Policy Preference (GPP) extensions deployed, you can
also them to do simple file copies like this.
For configuring the actual wallpaper though, you should
use the native Group Policy settings so the wallpaper can easily be
"undone" my simply removing the GPO . You'll need to configure the
following policy settings:
User Configuration/Administrative
Templates/Desktop/Active Desktop/Enable Active Desktop = "Enabled"
User Configuration/Administrative
Templates/Desktop/Active Desktop/Active Desktop Wallpaper = "Local/UNC
Path to Wallpaper"
Keep in mind that once you configure it this way, the
user will not be able to change it.
