System: Windows 7 Pro with SP2
Please can you help me find a solution to Allow Wallpaper Slideshow using a preselected folder BUT block anyone from changing the wallpaper.
The issue I am coming up with is the due to the slideshow option as most of the solutions allow for this but crucially only one wallpaper is ever displayed.
I appreciate anyone's thoughts or opinions and below is the list of attempted solutions that have not worked for what I am looking for:
Attempt 1: Group Policy Editor
Type gpedit.msc and press OK to open the Local Group Policy Editor.
Navigate to User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Control Panel > Personalization.
Double-click the Prevent changing desktop background option.
Selected Enabled option
RESULT: Removes access to change wallpaper BUT ALSO blocks the wallpaper slideshow - the wallpaper just remains on the wallpaper it was on right before this solution was enabled.
Attempt 2: Registry Editor
Open the Registry Editor.
Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER > Software > Microsoft > Windows > CurrentVersion > Policies.
Right-click on the Policies key (folder) and select New > Key.
Name this key as ActiveDesktop and then press Enter.
Click on the ActiveDesktop key. Add and select New > DWORD (32-bit) Value.
Name the value as NoChangingWallPaper and then press Enter.
NoChangingWallPaper value and set its Value data to 1. Click OK
RESULT: SAME AT ATTEMPT 1 - ie Removes access to change wallpaper BUT ALSO blocks the wallpaper slideshow - the wallpaper just remains on the wallpaper it was on right before this solution was enabled.
ATTEMPT 3: Group Policy Editor v2
Type gpedit.msc and press OK to open the Local Group Policy Editor.
Navigate to User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Desktop > Desktop.
Double-click the Desktop Wallpaper option.
In the next window, select the Enabled option
RESULT: It forces you to select just one wallpaper - not a series of wallpapers therefore not what I need
