When I login as guest, then change the background, logout, and log back in, the background is not saved. How can I choose which background the guest account will have?

This article explains it very nice. Basically you are modifying a "User Template" file, which is used to create a fresh new user every time you log in as a Guest. If you're not quite sure on how to do it just ask for help. :)

Thanks for the link to the instruction. Is there a way to only replace the guest's background? Where is it stored? Can't it be easily replaced like the DefaultDesktop.jpg of the login window? – user3518 Feb 10 '11 at 8:12
Answers on Ask Different need to be more than just a link. It's okay to include a link, but please summarize or excerpt it in the answer. The idea is to make the answer stand alone. – Daniel Lawson♦ Aug 27 '12 at 1:45

We're looking for long answers that provide some explanation and context. Don't just give a one-line answer: please explain why you're recommending it as a solution. Answers that don't explain anything will be deleted. See Good Subjective, Bad Subjective for more information.
