Tiled Wallpapers After a PCT Personality Restore

Picture this. You get a new computer. It has all of your files and folders from your previous computer, including the cool new wallpaper from the vacation photo you recently were on. A nice, wide screen picture. All of the sudden, you press CTRL-ALT-DELETE to lock your computer to go to lunch, and that nice wallpaper goes into ..... Tiled mode..... Now no one can see that awesome beach you got sunburned on, because there are 24 duplicates of it nicely tiled on your screen. How did that happen?

Well, the nice new computer you have received its personality as a capture from your previous machine. During the capture, migrating your computer from Windows 2000 to Windows XP, the capture template had the checkbox for capturing Active Desktop Settings checked. For some reason, when going between Windows 2000 and Windows XP, this occurs.

The easy resolution for this issue is simply unchecking the Active Desktop Settings capture item during personality template creation, and re-running the personality capture. This assures that the personality is correctly assembled. Then the restores work just fine!
