Remove Remote Desktop Login Wallpaper

Using Remote Desktop on most OEM systems like Dell and HP they like to add a desktop background to the RDP login. On a slow connection this takes ages to load and is just plain annoying. This guide will show you a simple registry tweak to disable this.

  • Open regedit
  • Navigate to the following key
HKEY_USERS\.default\control panel\desktop
  • Remove the path from the wallpaper string
registry desktop path

    That worked for me, saving 20 to 30 seconds on a slow day.
