    I'm roaming the profiles of the users. Now if I try to change the desktop settings, it roams, but I noticed that if I change the wallpaper, it does not roam.
    How can I roam the wallpaper, or any other specific thing.

    The wallpaper can't roam if the image file does not exist on the target machine, IIRC.
    Make sure the image you want to use as wallpaper is either on all machines (if it is a corporate background, for example), or in a roam-able location such as my docs.

    I tried using a wallpaper that comes with WindowsXP i.e. it can be used from any windowsXP computer, and it didn't work ?!? Also I noticed that even if I log out and log back on from the same computer, the wallpaper disappear, because I'm not using caching i.e. the profile is deleted from the local computer once I log off, but it means that it's saving the desktop settings and the files, excpet the wallpaper changes. The wallpaper is found on the computer, but the changes made by the user is not beeing saved. So in other words, the command issued by a user that he changed the wallpaper is not saved so that next time he logs on it reloads.

    Do you maybe have a group policy overriding this?

    What policy might override the roaming, I searched but none could be overriding as far as my opinion?

    Once I log off after setting a wallpaper, and log back on, the wallpaper is not set as last time as I just mentioned, however if you just right click on the desktop to enter the display properties, you see that the desktop wallpaper is highleted at the one I already selected last logging time, so by just pressing OK, it will load, in otherword, if you set a wallpaper then you log off, and you log back on, it's enough to go to display settings properties and then pressing OK, and it will load. Am I making it easier on you to locate the problem I'm facing?
