Description - Windows 7 Starter - Wallpaper Changer



Windows 7 Starter edition does not allow a user to change the desktop background wallpaper. Microsoft has taken many measures to Lock down the Default desktop background. Some of these are :

- The default wallpaper is set to %windir%WebWallpaperWindowsimg0.jpg
- The default wallpaper file`s SHA256 hash is hard coded in shell32.dll and is checked every time you log on.
- The registry entry for the wallpaper is changed by Windows every time you log on.

But there is a workaround. If you remove the permissions for the registry key where the path of the wallpaper is stored, then you would be able to change the desktop background wallpaper and freeze it so Windows cannot alter it at when you log on.
