The data connection takes more if the background wallpaper has to fed accross the line too. So could there be an option to not send the background image (wallpaper) of the server?
I heard that other remotes have this but have not tried it. |

I've done some research and haven’t found a reliable way to disable and more importantly return the desktop to its original state. At this time I think we are going to have to hold off on this one.
If anyone has technical thoughts on this please feel free to comment.

I might have a solution to this question. 
The wallpaper settings are in the registry in following entry:
| Quote: | [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop]
"Wallpaper"="C:\\WINDOWS\\MyWallPaper.bmp"
(exported out of the registry) |
You could do the following:
- add a serverconfig parameter to suppress the desktop wallpaper (Yes/No)
If set to yes, do:
- On connect of a client to the server, check if a registry entry by the name of WallpaperOrg exists. If not create it.
- Copy the contents of the entry Wallpaper to entry WallpaperOrg.
- clear the entry Wallpaper and refresh the desktop to remove the wallpaper of it.
- On disconnect of the client, do the opposite. That is copy the contents of WallpaperOrg back to Wallpaper and refresh the desktop to reactivate the wallpaper on it.
When a remote user shuts down the servercomputer, catch the event of unloading the server and do the last step of above scenario before actually unloading. Otherwise when the computer is started, you will get a blank desktop background.
Or you could check on BRserver startup to see if there is a WallpaperOrg entry in the registry and if the entry Wallpaper is empty, perform the last step of above scenario. |

I've actually got it partly working. The bigest problem encountered so far is if the user has the active desktop enabled then that registry setting doesn't work at all not to mention each version of Windows seems to handle it differently. 
Thanks for your research and ideas...
