    Registry does not work for all values

    I am testing my Vista Home Premium laptop.

    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Control Panel \ Desktop]
    "Wallpaper" = "C:\beaches.jpg"

    Windows tells me that the value was added, but the BDR did not move.

    whereas if I do

    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Microsoft \ Internet Explorer \ Main]
    "Start Page" = "http://www.google.com"

    it works

    Can any one explain me this?

    I think your Windows Registry is certainly messed up. Just repair your Windows with bootable CD and see if that works.

    Why don't you try something like this:

    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Control Panel \ Desktop]
    "Wallpaper" = "C:\\beaches.jpg"

    Hey great work man! It works now!

    I suppose the BDR expects this type of syntax and does not responds when it finds incorrect syntax's, even if the message has been successfully added, am I correct ?
