Rant over? Bizarre medical comparison quite finished? Good.

Has it occurred to you that there may not BE a solution? If domain admins
have decided to implement a certain policy and you're not a domain admin and
not even in your local machine's Admins group, it could quite simply be that
the system is working exactly as it's meant to and there's nothing technical
you *can* do about it. (Although there probably *is* to the desperate,
involving quite probably illegal methods.)

You are paid to do a job and bound by the constraints, IT and otherwise,
that brings. If you have a genuine business case for needing a different
wallpaper, then put it forward through the appropriate channels. By doing
otherwise you may risk your job (not that many of us would particularly care
about that, based on your attitude in this group). Go to your manager.
His/her manager. The person who decided on this policy. His/her manager.
Keep on pressing up the food chain about how your icons are hard to see and
how that affects your productivity. Enlist support of like-minded
colleagues.

But - keep on at these people in the way you have here, and you're only
going to succeed in causing bristling and dug-in heels.

Or you could always create a keyboard shortcut. If you can't see the Word
icon clearly, for instance, set Word to fire up when you press eg
Ctrl+Alt+W.

Oh, and please don't snip the entire history when you post - from your
message as it appears, no-one has any idea what you're on about.
