Can't remove logout wallpaper

[John Gordon]

My wife inherited a PC at her job. She has it mostly working the way
she wants, but there is one problem. When she logs out, it briefly
displays a background wallaper image from the previous owner before
going back to the login screen.

The old wallaper only appears *after* she logs out; it isn't on the
logout screen itself. And it only appears for a few seconds while
the pc is in the process of logging out; it disappears when the login
screen comes up.

I know, it seems like a very minor thing. But my wife really dislikes
it and I can't tell her no. :-)

Any ideas?

Using REGEDIT.EXE, inspect the key
HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Desktop
Value: Wallpaper

Thanks much! I'll try this out as soon as I can.
