Thanks, but the problem is when you first boot, the undesirable image loads
first, then the current wallpaper.

There are only two ways to present an image on the desktop - a boot
screen, or desktop wallpaper. What you are describing is a boot screen
that is presented only during boot and is replaced with the wallpaper
when the system is running. The boot screen image is contained in
C:/Windows/System32/NTOSKRNL.EXE, and this file is not readily editable
by users although it can be done. Your user most likely has some
utility that will make a boot screen and generate an acceptable
NTOSKRNL.EXE file to contain it. Google: XP boot screen - there are a
number of utilities that will edit the boot screen.

Otherwise, it is possible that if you run sfc[space]/scannow[enter] from
a command prompt that System File Checker will replace a modified
NTOSKRNL.EXE with an unmodified original.

Actually, if you set a wallpaper using IE, and then set a wallpaper from a
file, you get two wallpapers. the IE loads before the one from the file...
