# How to Set Desktop Wallpaper & Lock Screen

**Overview**

The Display & Lock Screen tool allows administrators to remotely change the visual appearance of managed computers. You can push a specific image file (such as a company logo or policy reminder) to be set as the user's Desktop Wallpaper or Lock Screen background. This ensures a consistent, professional look across all organization devices.

#### **Step-by-Step Guide**

Select the computer(s) you wish to update.

* From the main menu, navigate to Devices > Computers (1).
* Check the box (2) next to the specific computer(s) (e.g., `WIN-OEA8...`).
* Click the Actions button (3) located above the list.
