| | Re: Lock Wallpaper Mataloski Do these other people have their own user accounts or are they using your account? Wallpaper settings are specific for each user and not global. -- Ronnie Vernon Microsoft MVP Windows Shell/User "Mataloski" <Mataloski@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:F4787F58-2F09-4F6C-B726-4E832FF2A510@xxxxxx Quote: > Other people use my computer and change my wallpaper.

| | Re: Lock Wallpaper Mataloski If others are able to log on to the computer with your administrator account, there is nothing you can do that they would not be able to undo? They could even set a password for the account that would effectively lock you out of the PC! This is a very bad practice, especially with users who are doing things that you don't approve. -- Ronnie Vernon Microsoft MVP Windows Shell/User "Mataloski" <Mataloski@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:3629D36B-BA0E-4134-BFB5-DE15E5B8A806@xxxxxx Quote: > They go on my account.
