• Impossible to change the wallpaper of windows 8.

  Change the title of the thread: wallpaper of windows 8

  I just installed windows 8 cant seam to change the background color from black to something easy to see

  I found a way around the problem.  Open the run (start + R key) and open the local Group Policy Editor, gpedit.msc

  Under the User Configuration: go to administrative templates, office and then click the desktop folder.  Open and allow the enable Active Desktop.  Then, open the desktop wallpaper and allow as well.  After you activate the wallpaper desktop, in the Options box, type the path to the image that you want as the background.  Apply and restart the computer.  After the reboot, I went back to customize and just click on the wallpaper you saved (it should appear) and then it should appear.

  Good luck.

  PS, I have improved three computers (2 desktop computers, 1 laptop) to Windows 8 Pro and only had this problem on a desktop computer.

• 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".
  wallpaper / v

  reg unload "hku\temp."

  PowerShell Set-Service "Themes."

  Hi Dena B,.

  Me and my boyfriend have both administrator accounts, but my boyfriend is the main administrator account. I went on his account and tried to change it and it remained has changed in his narrative. So I downloaded a new theme in his account and selected one to use. Then disconnected and logged into my account and tried again and it worked. I can now use the new theme. And it does not change back. Very strange. Don't know if it will stop working if it goes back to the windows default wallpapers. I hope not.

  Thank you for answer you.

• Impossible to change the features of windows? Help!

  I can't make changes to the features of windows that I just get this error message "an error has occurred. Not all features have been changed successfully.

  Hello FrankSwaby,

  Are you able to connect to another user account and duplicate this problem?  Did you always have this problem or it's recently started where you can't make changes to feature Windows?  Have you been able to reproduce this problem in a clean boot?

   To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

• Impossible to change the wallpaper, the location of the image does not display images.

  Original title: photo location not display images

  I'm trying to access my pictures folder and select a background for my office. But when I search for the location of the image and select the folder of the screen does not display images, even if the pictures are present in the folder. The screen shows only 'solid colors.
  I moved to the location of my pictures, sounds and video to another folder. Then, the default folders are different.
  In Explorer when I just click on the photos forlder ther is a location tab saying my it's the default folder.
  One last thing.
  If I go to explore and navigate to the folder my pictures, right click on a picture and select 'Set as wallpaper', then it displays the content and the folder.

  Any ideas?
  James

  I got it working again.
  And that's a good reason to not mess with the registry.
  I have used a tweak registry to hide the libraries in the Explorer navigation pane. Once I've restored it Windows seems to have found the files for my photos. I then re - hid libraries and everything seems to work ok.

• HOW CAN I ADD MY OWN IMAGE ON THE SCREEN OF WINDOWS 8 START

  Greetings.

  Let's be clear, as clear as I can be without realizing the term Microsoft applies to this new application in Windows.

  When you click Start in Windows 8, there is an image behind the tiles. I want my own image, which is an image from my Gallery, behind the tiles.

  When you click on the charm of settings and select Customize, you are allowed to choose among 20 preloaded images, with 20 being your current desktop image. I would use a still image without making changes to my desktop.

  I can not even find the location of the file for the preloaded images! If I knew where they were stored, I could add my own image library.

  I use a similar technigue to make my wallpapers available for all users: my wallpaper screen images has just moved into the Windows\Web\Wallpaper folder.

  Similarly, I do some of my available desktop themes to all users by copying them in the Users\Default\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Themes folder.

  I even load my own sounds in the Windows\Media folder. Thus, all users have access to the sounds I like to use.

  But I can not find the folder where are these images pre-loaded Windows 8 start... AND I don't like these preloaded images, I want to use one of my own!

  How can I change the image of Windows 8 start behind my tiles?

  This is not possible, Mr President.

  You can have transparent so that your background shows through (option 20 as you mentioned it).

  Other components don't cry pictures. They are programming that built graphical objects, a lot as well as additional programming that prompts them to move when you scroll for artistic effect and provide options to change the colors of this product graphic objects programmatically.

  But there is no 'image' to display or replace, because none of those are actually pictures at all.

  I'm sorry.

• Please help; Impossible to change the position of my wallpaper!

  I know this isn't a big problem; but I would like it's working properly anyway.  I tried a new image for my wallpaper, and it showed as an image full screen.  I didn't like it then, immediately, I went back to the original image, and it was too full screen.  I went to the desktop background and the position is as I've had with a frame black (I also tried other colors) around the image, but it was not of themselves.  I tried all the different positions and nothing will change.  The image will change, but any image I try is full screen.

• 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?

  Th information in this link can help you.

  Hi danny,

  Unfortunately Windows 7 Starter doesn t will allow you to change the wallpaper. This is a limitation of Windows on Windows 7 Starter Edition. The wallpaper can be changed on Windows 7 Home Basic Edition or higher versions.
