I need to set a specific desktop background picture to a number of Windows XP machines. Is it possible to use some group policy for this or must I do it one by one?

+1 due to good question. This is something that should be simple but is hard to find anywhere on the internet. – David Dec 16 '10 at 15:00

You can use "UserConfig\AdmTempl\Desktop\Active Desktop\Desktop Wallpaper" with a JPG or BMP in your group policies.

-Hope this helps

Thanks. Will this work if Active Desktop is disabled? – Siim K Dec 16 '10 at 14:30
I'm not sure... I don't think that there is any other way to do this though. I have looked at many places on the internet for that information with no luck. I would just recommend try and posting back the results. Sorry for the lack of information. The most helpful site I have found on this topic is eggheadcafe.com/software/aspnet/33414555/…. They seem to want exactly what you want. – David Dec 16 '10 at 14:53
