    We having problem with background in roaming profile.
    I cam choose one (regardless windows standart or custom).
    When I log off and logon on different computer my desktop icons would be loaded, but not background. I opened screen property and I can see it's remember what had been choosen, but never loaded.

    Thank you, Bigll

    When you designate the background, is this a file that is only available locally on the working computer? Then when you log onto a new computer.. although the roaming profile loads, maybe the wallapaper file is not accessible.
    just a thought.

    I have had problems with this recently. You must use a .bmp image for the wallpaper. Windows server 2000/2003 will only accept a .bmp file.

    Do you have any Group Policy settings related to this? I have group that uses a JPG for their background, I had to turn on Active Desktop through policy.

    We had the same issue here at out site and I have written a small script that runs as a logoff script and it allows users to have a JPG wallpaper as a roaming profile. You can find it here --> http://www.mattwaddell.com/index.php...aming-profile/
