Hi.<br />
<br />
Several questions regarding Windows XP Pro SP2<br />
<br />
1 - To have a BMP background, is it necessary to have Active Desktop enabled?<br />
2 - Is it possible to set the background via a Group Policy?<br />
3 - Is it possible to set the background via Group Policy WITHOUT having to activate Active Desktop?<br />
<br />
Alternatively, how do I set a non Active Directory wallpaper?<br />
<br />
Basically, I want to get rid of Active Desktop but have a background and, ideally, centrally administrered.<br />
<br />
Regards,<br />
<br />

Group Policy / Desktop Wallpaper / Active Desktop

Microsoft Windows XP is the sixth release of the NT series of operating systems, and was the first to be marketed in a variety of editions: XP Home and XP Professional, designed for business and power users. The advanced features in XP Professional are generally disabled in Home Edition, but are there and can be activated. There were two 64-bit editions, an embedded edition and a tablet edition.
