Determines whether the appearance of the wallpaper specified in the value of Wallpaper is centered, tiled, or stretched, and prevents users from changing this specification.
This entry stores the setting of the Wallpaper Style box in the Active Desktop Wallpaper Group Policy. Group Policy adds this entry to the registry when you enable the Active Desktop Wallpaper policy. If you disable the policy or set it to Not configured, Group Policy deletes the entry from the registry and users can select their own wallpaper and specify its presentation.
| Value | Meaning |
|---|---|
| (Not in registry) | The policy is not configured. Wallpaper is centered, but users can change the presentation. |
| 0 | Centered. |
| 1 | Tiled. |
| 2 | Stretched. |
To change the value of this entry, use Group Policy. This entry corresponds to the Active Desktop Wallpaper policy (User Configuration\AdministrativeTemplates\Desktop\Active Desktop).
Note
This entry only appears when the Active Desktop Wallpaper policy is enabled.
This entry requires that Active Desktop be enabled. By default, Active Desktop is disabled. To enable Active Desktop by using a policy, use the ForceActiveDesktopOn entry.
This entry takes precedence over a user setting. When this entry appears in the registry, a policy is in effect and the system ignores the value of WallpaperStyle in the Control Panel\Desktop subkey.
Tip
For detailed information about particular Group Policy settings, see the Group Policy Reference (Gp.chm) on the Windows 2000 Resource Kit companion CD.
For general information about Group Policy, see Group Policy in Windows 2000 Help.
