I am a GPO newbie.  I have used the administrative templates to apply an image as a centered background.  I'd like the remainder of the desktop to be a solid black color.  I don't see anything in the Active Desktop folder for setting this using the GPO editor.

Can you provide step by step instructions on how to edit the policy to force a black background color?

When using a GPO applied background image, how can I adjust the background color?
