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 would), just
use offline files to cache those network shares which hold your desktop, start
menu, and wallpaper content. J

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.
