Desktop Wallpaper
Assuming Windows XP, wallpaper is a user profile property. If profiles are defined in a Windows Domain, an admin can adjust them with a profile policy - setting a default, disallowing customization if you want, etc. If they are local to each computer, you just have to go manually change them on each computer.
