SmOke_N 199 Report post 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. 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Uten 7 Report post 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 Please keep your sig. small! Use the help file. Search the forum.

gamerman2360 0 Report post 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
