SUMMARY
This article tells you how to change the default wallpaper to a company logo or other Bitmap graphic (BMP). Windows NT Workstation uses WINNT.BMP or WINNT256.BMP as the default wallpaper. Windows NT Server uses LANMAN.BMP or LANMA256.BMP as the default wallpaper. The number of colors used by the video adapter determines which BMP is used. Systems set to 16 colors use WINNT.BMP for Workstation and LANMAN.BMP for Server. Systems set to 256 colors use WINNT256.BMP for Windows NT Workstation and LANMA256.BMP for Windows NT Server.



MORE INFORMATION
Do the modifications required for Computer Profile Setup (CPS) in the %SystemRoot%\System32\Profile.inf of the image created with Uplodprf.exe. The BMP file you use must be in the %SystemRoot% (WINNT35) directory when you run Uplodprf.exe.

Original PROFILE.INF:

Ifstr(i) $(!STF_PRODUCT) == "WINNT" ReplaceIniKeyValue "Win.ini", DeskTop, Wallpaper, "winnt.bmp " Else ReplaceIniKeyValue "Win.ini", DeskTop, Wallpaper, "winnt256.bmp " Endif

Example:

Ifstr(i) $(!STF_PRODUCT) == "WINNT" ReplaceIniKeyValue "Win.ini", DeskTop, Wallpaper, "BMP16.bmp" Else ReplaceIniKeyValue "Win.ini", DeskTop, Wallpaper, "BMP256.bmp" Endif

You can specify the same BMP filename for both lines if desired.
