Suprash Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 Pretty sure this was posted once before after someone was talking about it. But at work our PC's are locked so you cant set your own desktop wall papers. Does anyone know how I can change this ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 Don't they lock it because they don't want you doing shit like that? Not worth getting sacked for mate, is it? I'm sure I can find out for you though, if you really want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michael Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 They lock the desktop but they let you in to the reg? Odd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suprash Posted October 10, 2008 Author Share Posted October 10, 2008 Its more to stop you installing your Ipods and palm pilots and stuff really, to protect against virus' etc. Jake, Visa was the same but we used to change it using Firefox, except for the life of me I cant get Firefox portable to connect to the proxy server here so thought I would do it this way. But yeah certainly not worth getting sacked over I agree...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benzsupra Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 If it's only been blocked on your desktop and not from the server you could always try turning it back on using gpedit.msc Still check that you won't get into trouble Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
