Group policy wallpaper not working for non-admin accounts
We have a special image that I am required to have on all PC's at my job and I usually just enable the desktop wallpaper in group policy and point it to the path. This has worked for as long as I can remember.
In windows 7 group policy editor, I set the desktop wallpaper in:
User Configuration
Admin Templates
Desktop
Desktop
Desktop Wallpaper
I set it to the local path where the rest of the desktop wallpapers are stored C:\Windows\Web\Wallpaper\XXXX.jpg
I did this while logged in as Administrator. It shows up under the Administrator account but it does not show under the other 2 accounts on the machine. Yet the other changes I set in the policy work under the other 2 accounts. The weird thing is, as I logoff these other account, the picture I set will flash for a second on the screen, then the account logs out.
I have done this countless times on machines without issue, I don't know what is happening. I even reloaded the machine just in case and it still is doing it.
I checked all over the registry where it relates to wallpaper and the correct path to the image is shown. I really don't know what is happening. The only way I can make the image stay is to log into each account and pick the image manualy which gets time consuming when I am loading a ton of PC's.
Any ideas? I have deleted and recreated the users, same deal.
