How to Change the Desktop Background on a School/Work Computer

  1. Download Background Changer - Graphical Background Changer.vbs
  2. Find the Picture you want then Shift + Right Click it then Select “Copy as path”
  3. Right Click the Program and Select “Run as Administrator”
  4. Wait 5 Seconds then when it says “Enter Background Location: ” Right Click and Select “Paste” then press enter

    More Versions:

A more Advanced Method (What my program does already):

  1. Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System in REGEdit
  2. Set “Wallpaper” to the location of the picture you want to use also if you have “DisableTaskMgr” set it to 00000000
  3. Open Task Manager (Ctrl + Alt + Del or Right Click the Taskbar) then Restart Windows Explorer

Thanks for reading!
Steve.
