Hi All,

Wanting to center a wallpaper but "Center" is not an option in "Build Core--->Additional Options". The reg value should be:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop]
"WallpaperStyle"="0"

but I can't get this to stick. I've tried editing the default reg hive as well as merging a reg file with the proper value but they don't work? Is there another way to handle this?

Thanks!

There is a reason the option is Missing - it messes with Theme Color..
But here is what you need
Code: [Select]
RegHiveLoad,Tmp_Default,%RegDefault%
RegWrite,HKLM,0x1,"Tmp_Default\Control Panel\Desktop",TileWallpaper,0
RegWrite,HKLM,0x1,"Tmp_Default\Control Panel\Desktop",WallpaperStyle,0
RegWrite,HKLM,0x1,"Tmp_Default\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Desktop\General",TileWallpaper,0
RegWrite,HKLM,0x1,"Tmp_Default\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Desktop\General",WallpaperStyle,0
RegHiveUnLoad,Tmp_Default

Thanks for the reply!

Should I be adding this from the "Additions" section? When I do I get this error:

RegHiveLoad - Failed to load registry hive: [Tmp_Default] From file: [%BaseDir%\Target\Windows\System32\config\Default]: Unknown error

With the "Additions" the hive is already loaded
so remove the first and last line of that code..
then place the rest in "Additions"

Thanks for the quick reply!

This line appears to not be taking effect as it is always showing a value of 2 instead of 0 as specified here:

RegWrite,HKLM,0x1,"Tmp_Default\Control Panel\Desktop",WallpaperStyle,0

I know, I caught that the first time.  :wink:

Shouldn't anything in the Additions section override built in settings? Also, if I make the change to that value while in the PE and restart explorer.exe it looks proper. I didn't notice any color issues in particular?
