bucky002 0 Posted June 6, 2006 (edited) Are you using a picture or a default windows background? Edited June 6, 2006 by bucky002 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dakota 0 Posted June 6, 2006 I'm making a program that will change the background every 5 min or so Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SmOke_N 207 Posted June 6, 2006 I lost my keys... does anyone know where they are . Desktop >> Right Click >> Properties >> Desktop >> Scroll to picture >> Browse Button ... That should do it That's the manual way ... if you want it progmatically, maybe someone can show you cpl or registry way... but I gotta run. Hide SmOke_N's signature Hide all signatures Common sense plays a role in the basics of understanding AutoIt... If you're lacking in that, do us all a favor, and step away from the computer.

dakota 0 Posted June 6, 2006 no not how to change the background but where the image you selected i stored is it in the redgerstry? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Uten 9 Posted June 7, 2006 You know, you have to work on your comunication skills. You did ask where the file was located. I don't know the keys in the registry but you could probably track it down with regmon and filemon from www.sysinternals.comStart regmon. Then change your backround. Analyze the result in regmon. Or get a copy of installrite and do the same.Happy hunting Hide Uten's signature Hide all signatures Please keep your sig. small! Use the help file. Search the forum.

gamerman2360 0 Posted June 7, 2006 Even if you did change the regkey, I think you would have to refreash the desktop. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gamerman2360 0 Posted June 7, 2006 Are you going to post the src when you get it done? I'm not really that sure if you need to/how you would refreash the desktop. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
