Change Wallpaper in Windows 7


Change Wallpaper in Windows 7



I have written a small vbs script to download and change the registry for the current users wallpaper. however it copies and does the change but the wallpaper does not change... any ideas on errors in the below code?


Option Explicit
Dim WshShell, strValue, sleepTime, oFSO

strValue = "C:wallpaper.bmp"
sleepTime = 30000

Set oFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
oFSO.CopyFile "anspksnms1OSDScriptswallpaperwallpaper.bmp", "C:"

Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
WshShell.RegWrite "HKCUControl PanelDesktopWallpaper", strValue
WScript.Sleep sleepTime
WshShell.Run "%windir%System32RUNDLL32.EXE user32.dll, UpdatePerUserSystemParameters", 1, False

Set WshShell = Nothing





Have you tried changing "1, False" to "1, True"? The code in one of the answers uses True, experts-exchange.com/OS/Microsoft_Operating_Systems/Windows/…

wshShell.run "cmd /c RunDll32.exe USER32.DLL,UpdatePerUserSystemParameters", 1, True
