This might seem like an obvious suggestion but go into control panel->users and try and find setrtigns like "accounts have individual settings" etc...

i think, the reason this happening is that the user who changes the wallpaper has Adminastrator Privilleges over windows and when the user has that he changes all user's wallpapers....

Sounds like this could be a group policy problem, but only if you're running XP pro.
Click start, click run then type in gpedit.msc
In the left hand window, left click on the little + sign next to 'Administrative Templates' then click on the + next to 'Active Desktop'.
In the right hand pane, right click on 'Active Desktop Wallpaper' and then left click on 'properties' in the pop-up menu. Make sure that it's set to 'not configured'.

thanks cycovision but i'm actually using xp home so i assume this fix will not apply. looks a bit scary to me, i'd probably end up making it worse. cheers Tony
