Change Windows Desktop Picture

Our wonderful IT Dept at work has put a block on changing the desktop
picture.
We can no longer change it using (1) Control Panel / Display / Desktop
or (2) "save as background" or (3) Control Panel / Display / Customize
Destop / Web.
We now have to put up with a picture that makes some of our icons
difficult to see.
Is there another way to change the background? e.g. change a registry
value (they've probably blocked that as well). Please help me beat
these b*stards !!

So you don't know a solution to the problem?
Ever considered a career in IT? You'd fit in well with your
"helpfulness".

Are you going to appear on that new TV series for IT geeks called
"Can't Help, Won't Help"
I used to work in IT then got a proper job.

IT Depts create problems, users have to solve them.
If you disagree then open your eyes.
