Change the wallpaper

Hi all

Im running my mid 2012 on OSX El Capitan MBPr. I work with several virtual desktop at a time. For a better sense in which Office I am to a current time I ve been trying to change the background of each work station but found no way to do it.

Any help is appreciated.

When you navigate to Applications-> Mission control, you have several desktop computers listed in the upper part of the screen?  Just go to each office, open System Preferences-> desktop and screensaver and change.

    original title: wallpaper

    Try to change the wallpaper, it says that this feature has been disabled contact admin, me, system how can I get rid of him?

    If you did not disable the ability to change the desktop background, then you can be infected with some form of malware on your computer. I would recommend that you run that a full and spyware antivirus scan to make sure that your computer is clean.

    Try this:

    1. click on start-> Type on the start search: type gpedit.msc-> press ENTER.
    2. under Local computer policy, expand "User Configuration".
    3. under User Configuration, expand "Administrative Templates".
    4. under administrative templates expand 'Desktop '.

  • Impossible to change the wallpaper in Windows 7 Starter.

    original title: Windows 7 Starter wallpaper!

    Seriously one you can't change the wallpaper on Windows 7 starter. Of course, that I understand that this version of Windows is expected to be very light on has to run smoothly on netbooks... but F---ing screen? Microsoft remembers that they always write operating systems right? My dinosaur, Nokia cell phone from 5 years ago allow you to change the wallpapers.  They left the gadget feature but no background screen! This really proves to me that Microsoft has absolutely no idea of what they do.  Windows 7 comes on just about all netbook now from this current holiday season.  So here's my question... Why would anyone want a netbook windows 7 when XP (earlier than prior windows operating system 7) had more features it does? Apple is looking for better and better. I don't even have a netbook for Christmas, and even though I really wanted one, I'm very happy that I don't have. I'm not going to get one at all now if its windows 7 on it.  I'll wait for the Apple tablet, and that's all.  What do you mean Microsoft?

    Hello socratesman,

    Thank you for visiting the Microsoft answers community.

    In Windows 7 Starter, you are not allowed to change the wallpaper. You can't even replace the image by default by another because the system compares the hash of file of your background desired with the hash of the file of the default wallpaper.

    You need to upgrade to a more full version of Windows 7:

  • Can't change the wallpaper on windows 7 ultimate x 64

    The problem is that I can't change my wallpaper (I have in the past).

    I can't change it via the Customize menu (I choose other wallpapers, but the new wallpaper is not displayed).  I also tried to change my custom theme default theme and still does not change the wallpaper.  It also does not work when I get clickl on an image and select use as background. (my account is a type of admin)

    However I change it when I use the local and updated Group Policy Editor 1 default wallpaper for all accounts.

    But when I create a new user and try to change its desktop background it works.

  • Impossible to change the wallpaper in the linked Clone desktops

    Hello

    I have a weird problem with a client running Horizon view 6.0.1:

    In linked Clone desktops, we are unable to change the desktop background. We have created a new master without optimizations that I thought one of them already could be the problem (we removed the design etc. but just to get that optimizations).

    I can change the wallpaper in the master image without problems, but not in the deployed workstations. If I click on other models, I see more active design Aero, the colors change from window etc, but the background remains the standard image of blue windows ("harmony"). Even if I select the images from the Explorer, right-click, as wallpaper - no change.

    Anyone has the same problem and can lead to a solution?

    P.S.: We use management Persona. But I have already created a pool in an OU without management of Persona and still have the same problem.

    Best regards

    Thomas

    I saw something similar awhile back after running desktop optimization commands.   I found myself by opening a ticket with Microsoft and the following changes are what sets our questions.

    Reg load "hku\temp".
    «% USERPROFILE%\ \Default User\NTUSER.» DAT '.

    reg delete "hku\temp\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System".

  • Terminal command to change the wallpaper does not

    I recently did a program that changed my desktop wallpaper according to the time of day.  He worked by entering a terminal command that looked like something like this:

    osascript-e ' tell application "Finder" to the image of the desktop value "/ path/to/file.jpg" as a POSIX file '

    It was working fine, until recently.  Now when I enter the command to define 'fichier.jpg', it works, and defines it as my desktop background as it is supposed to, but when I replace it with a new image of the same name and path, the command affects my wallpaper the original image of the same name.  When I went to change my wallpaper in system preferences, it showed in my new defined image preview area, even if it wasn't.  I'm doing something wrong or is there a problem with my Mac?

    osascript-e ' tell application "Finder" to set the image of the Office of POSIX file "/ path/to/image.jpg" '

    On OS X 10.11.6 and by operating in the Terminal, the foregoing has changed the image of the office immediately whenever it is run with a new image.

  • Change the wallpaper off the admin account and the background recording does not

    Hello

    I'm having a problem with my background. Whenever I try to put a picture on my computer as background will not be set that image as it is, and when I put a picture of the internet as a background it will fix but don't stay once I restart the computer. This is the case EVERY TIME.

    After seeing this happen several times I went to control panel > appearance and personalization > change wallpaper. What I get on this page is a simple line, "this feature has been disabled, please contact your administrator." The problem is I AM the administrator and I have never changed the parameters of the Office to act like that, and I certainly never turn off any of the display settings.

    I scoured these forums and I've seen people who have similar problems (but not admin issues I'm having and not the problem with the setting of a local image) and have tried some of the solutions, including going in the ease of access settings > make computer easier to see and to erase the settings is unchecked.

    Help, please!

    All the solutions I am about to propose involve not to change the registry. Since it is to change the registry I recommend that you first create a point in http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/create-a-restore-point-for-windows-vistas-system-restore/ restoration system AND back up the registry as follows: http://www.adamsdvds.co.uk/tutorials/vista/regedit/backup.php.  I also want to warn to do at your own risk and peril - I have not tried these procedures myself, so I can't speak to their effectiveness or what other impact that may lead to changes.  But if you do the safety precautions backup two above, you should be able to recover in case this does not work or something you want starts to occur.  The decision (and risk) is your enttirely.

    Here is an article with a possible solution: http://www.pchell.com/support/desktopwallpaper.shtml.

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Here's another registry solution that I found in a forum:

    Remove after your system using Regedit registry entry. Disconnect and reconnect.

    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
    "Wallpaper"=""

    You should be able to change your background now.

    ===================================================================================================================

    Here's yet another article on how to solve the problem with yet another type of editing the registry: http://www.tech-pro.net/how-to-change-desktop-wallpaper.html.

    I hope that one of these options help.

    Good luck!

  • Cannot create custom themes - change the wallpaper on the evolution of a theme the wallpaper on the other themes without apparent reason.

    Hi all

    I am trying to create a bunch of different themes, with various wallpapers and color schemes.

    I use right click on desktop-> personalization.

    At first, it seemed possible to create different themes by going to the image I want, right click on 'set as wallpaper', then enter right-click-on - desktop-> personalization, right click on the theme "non-registered" now watch the wallpapers, I just chose, then selecting "save us." This appeared to save the theme under personalization-> my themes.

    I got up to 5 different themes under "My themes" by doing this.

    But now, #5 theme, it works all of a sudden is no longer like that.

    Now, when the value a new picture as a wallpaper, it does not change only "Unsaved theme" for new wallpaper, it changes at the same time theme #5 to this wallpaper as well. When I save the new theme theme #6 and then go to change theme #5 to the wallpaper I had originally, it replaces theme #6 as well. It is impossible to change a wallpaper without changing both of them.

    I don't understand why it ehaves in this way. Why can't save just a theme and then not have to worry that it will be crushed randomly if I do something else with a completely different theme?
