Default Profile not setting Backgroud

Hello,

this is driving me nuts! I'm just preparing our template for Windows Server 2025 VM rollout. I try to set a solid background in the default profile (c:\uses\default\ntuser.dat), so every new user gets this as default background. I have set

HKCU\Control Panel\Colors	Background	REG_SZ	50 84 154
HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop	Wallpaper	REG_SZ
HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\DesktopSpotlight\Settings	EnabledState	DWORD	0
HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Wallpapers	BackgroundType	DWORD	1

but every new user/profile still gets the windows default background image (C:\WINDOWS\web\wallpaper\Windows\img0.jpg). Don't want to use GPOs, as the setting should be optional. All other settings from teh default profile copy all right.

Anyone any idea?

Thanx!

Cheers
