@Wouter

No offense, but your example doesn't support styles

Ezz's example doesn't support optional style, and did not work in my w2k environment.

@ALL

If anyone tries this on a different OS and gets unexpected results, please let me know.

What exactly is the $style = 0 parameter that is being passed into _ChangeDestopWallpaper function?

; [$style]- 0 = Centered, 1 = Tiled, 2 = Stretched

The style = 0 in the code basically means that if no style is called, it'll default to 0.
