Description
Determines whether the appearance of the wallpaper specified in the value of the
Wallpaper
entry is centered, tiled, or stretched, and prevents users from changing this style.
This entry stores the setting of the
Wallpaper Style
box in the
Active Desktop Wallpaper
Group Policy. Group Policy adds this entry to the registry when you enable the policy. If you disable the policy or set it to
Not configured,
Group Policy deletes this entry from the registry, and users can select their own wallpaper and specify its presentation.

Group Policy (User Configuration\AdministrativeTemplates\Desktop\Active Desktop).

Note
This entry only appears when the
Active Desktop Wallpaper
policy is enabled.
This entry requires that Active Desktop be enabled. By default, Active Desktop is disabled. To enable it, use the
Enable Active Desktop
policy (User Configuration\AdministrativeTemplates\Desktop\Active Desktop).
This entry takes precedence over a user setting. When this entry appears in the registry, a policy is in effect and the system ignores the user setting, which is stored in value of the
WallpaperStyle
entry in the HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop subkey.
