There's a simpler way to change your desktop wallpaper:
1. Load your install image.
2. Add / File / Before logon (Machine) -> background.jpg or .bmp
3. Don't change any settings.





If you need to add custom themes or multiple wallpapers, then copy your files to the mounted image's \Windows\Web folder. Otherwise, NTLite will automatically install a single image file as your default wallpaper.

Or in Windows\Web\Wallpaper\Windows, replace the img0.jpg file (for the light theme, img19.jpg must be for the dark theme) with the desired wallpaper and while keeping img0.jpg name

Or again, modify the corresponding line (with notepad for example) in the aero.theme file present in Windows\Resources\Themes
For the Windows theme

Run a cmd where X is NTL loaded path and change username to your own - hereafter it's easy to change the pictures as well as account pics:

takeown /f X:\NTLite\Temp\NLTmpMnt01\Windows\Web" /r /d y
ICACLS "X:\NTLite\Temp\NLTmpMnt01\Windows\Web" /grant %username%:F /T
RD /s /q X:\NTLite\Temp\NLTmpMnt01\Windows\Web
takeown /f "X:\NTLite\Temp\NLTmpMnt01\ProgramData\Microsoft\User Account Pictures" /r /d y
ICACLS "X:\NTLite\Temp\NLTmpMnt01\ProgramData\Microsoft\User Account Pictures" /grant %username%:F /T

Hi guys!

I have tried all of the above, and every single time, when Windows boots up the default wallpaper is ALWAYS the Windows spotlight one. I've tried replacing the default images in the mounted images. I've tried adding a reg entry to point at the image that I have placed. I've tried altering the .theme file so that it points directly to the image, but every time it shows up with the standard spotlight image, which I can't even find, or I would try replacing that too.

If anyone can shed some light on what else I could try, I'll be forever grateful, and it would also save my sanity!

Bound_By_Physics Have you also tested it with this registry key, with the path of your wallpaper ?

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop]
"WallPaper"="C:\\Windows\\web\\wallpaper\\Windows\\img0.jpg"
