I am a system admin at Gripple (www.gripple.com) and am trying to setup a batch file (login script) that will change the background for Group Policy.

At the moment, I have the script copy the wallpaper from the server to the local machine.

Copy /Y "\\Server\Departments\General\Andrew\Gripple Desktop Background.gif" "c:\windows"

Fancy that, I've been using Gripple kit for years and never realised they were in Sheffield. Anyway, carry on.......

No command as standard, but you can use freeware like...
This (http://autostartmanager.com/wallpapr.htm) or the one called WallMake - Wallpaper utility, from here (http://www.cmdtools.com/) .
