| Data type | Range | Default value |
|---|---|---|
| REG_DWORD | 0 | 1 | 0 |
Disables all options on the Background tab of Display in Control Panel. As a result, users cannot add or change the background design of the desktop.
This entry stores the setting of the Disable changing wallpaper Group Policy. Group Policy adds this entry to the registry with a value of 1 when you enable the policy. If you disable the policy or set it to Not configured, Group Policy deletes the entry from the registry and the system behaves as though the value is 0.
| Value | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 0 (or not in registry) | The policy is disabled or not configured. Options on the Background tab are enabled. |
| 1 | The policy is enabled. The Background tab still appears, but all options on the tab are disabled. |
To change the value of this entry, use Group Policy. This entry corresponds to the Disable changing wallpaper policy (User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Control Panel\Display).
