1. Since it's his employer's machine, they may have locked
him out from the normal wallpaper-changing route. (In which
case I'm surprised he has access to the relevant registry
key either.) 2. I don't think he's talking about the normal
desktop wallpaper anyway, that is on the desktop during
normal operation, but something that occurs during the boot
sequence. If you reread his OP, he talks about "black for a
few seconds" (or something like that) after he'd deleted
something, not the final state.

There are more than one contradictions in his post. He does not
know the correct terminology. But you'd be surprised how many
people can't tell the difference (let alone use the correct
terminology between the BIOS sequence and OS starting up.

I gave him some advice anyway - what the hell. I am certainly
not going to get into discussing how to change the BIOS boot
screen which can only be done on SOME machines and is a major
PITA.
