Need to block permission to change desktop background

Hello and thank you for your help in advance! I am a grade school teacher
needing to block the option of changing the desktop background on our
school's lab computers. They are running Win XP (two have XP Pro). Try as I
might, images that really don't belong in my Kindergarten class keep being
left by older students...please help if you can. Thanks!

1.Click Start > Run > type GPEDIT.MSC and press Enter.

2. Expand to User Configuration - Administrative Templates - Control
Panel - Display.

3. On the right-side pane double-click the entry "Prevent Changing
Wallpaper"

4.Set the value "Enable" (If you enable this setting, the Desktop tab
still appears, but all options on the tab are disabled.)

5.Click OK/Apply.

regards,
S.Sengupta[MS-MVP]
