I want to incorporate a desktop wallpaper download page within my interactive presentation and was just wanting to find out if there is a script for changing the users desktop wallpaper to an image within the presentation??

Thankyou very much for your help,

I have done as you stated.

However it is now changing my desktop to a blank desktop.

It does not input the requested image as a background, and also deletes my current background image and just leaves a blank background.

Do you know why it is doing this?

Is there a code to fix this? Am I doing something wrong?

Cheers for your assistantce,

This is probably due to the path to the wallpaper image was incorrect, or this function doesn't work on your set up. You may try changing the registry value HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Control Panel/Desktop/Wallpaper to the path to the wallpaper image.
