Windows – Work Laptop keeps reseting desktop background from stretch to tile

desktop-customizationwindows 7

Anyone else run into this issue? It is not the problem of HP/Compaq listed here: Changing desktop background picture from stretch on Windows 7

What I am finding is that my Windows 7 Laptop (it is a Thinkpad, but with non HP installed OS) allows me to set a wallpaper background, I can set it as stretched or tiled, etc; however upon reboot, the wallpaper always defaults to 'tiled'. It never saves it to Stretched which is the best approach for my monitors.

Anyone run into this? Or could it be some corporate 'reset' for wallpaper? I do recall for Windows XP we run BGINFO, but I don't get the background being updated on my machine to reflect the background details.

Running Windows 7 64bit Professional

The fact that it reverts back to tiled and its a work laptop makes me think this may be a Group Policy setting by your work's system administrators. Perhaps it was set and forgotten... Check with them.
