A. The Windows 2000 and Windows NT Server resource kits include the regfind utility, which you can use to find (and change) values in a registry location. For example, you can enter the following command:
C:> regfind -p HKEY_CURRENT_USERControl PanelDesktop"old value" -r "new value"
where "old value" is the old wallpaper name and "new value" is the new wallpaper name. You can add the -m switch and use regfind to modify remote machines:
C:> regfind -m \[computer name]-p HKEY_CURRENT_USERControlPanelDesktop "old value" -r "new value"
