OS 10.3 - Can you lock the desktop background?

I'd like to know if there is any way to keep someone from changing your desktop background in OSX 10.3.8. At work, myself and a co-worker are in a friendly war of changing each others backgrounds. I'd like to be able to change his, but make it so he can't change mine. I don't have Admin privileges, so I don't think there is much I can do, is there?

the only way i know is to have admin priv. sorry. also a good tip in the war to take it to the next level. open MS word and go to auto correct change it so when every he types a word of your choice it auto corrects with what every you want it to say. a friendly example would be changing the word "the" to auto correct as "they" a unfriendly one would be having the word "the" auto correct to some profanity or phrase that i would get banned for saying here.

You could take away your own rights to the desktop folder but you would no longer be able to save things there.
