Wallpaper dll Call

[Paulie]

Could somebody please tell me if I am using this .dll correctly to change the desktop wallpaper?

It's really confusing me...

$i_image1 = "C:\WINDOWS\Web\Wallpaper\Bliss.jpg"
(DllCall Removed due to its horribly blatant wrongness)

Don't laugh at me if this is horrible :"> , I have no idea how to do this correctly

I got my info from here:

Someone help me figure this out please

Thanks, I found the Dll i needed(I was no where Close! ), however, I really wish to become more acquainted with dlls, so do you think someone could explain to me in layman's terms what this is doing.

Just so i have some remote understanding and am not just blindly CnPing?

DllCall("user32","int","SystemParametersInfo","int",20,"int",0,"str",$PathToImage,"int",0)
