_ChangeWallpaper made by DaProgramer

You will need Au3Lib for this to work.

#Include <A3LGDIPlus.au3>

Func _ChangeWallpaper($currentfile)
    RegWrite('HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop', 'TileWallpaper', 'reg_sz', '0')
    RegWrite('HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop', 'WallpaperStyle', 'reg_sz', '2')
   
    $x = 0
    While $x = 0
    $CurrentFile = RotateFiles()
    If StringRight($CurrentFile,3) = "jpg" Or StringRight($CurrentFile,3) = "bmp" Then $x = 1
    WEnd
   
    If StringRight($CurrentFile,3) = "jpg" Then
        _GDIP_StartUp()
        $hImage = _GDIP_ImageLoadFromFile($CurrentFile)
        $sCLSID = _GDIP_EncodersGetCLSID("BMP")
        _GDIP_ImageSaveToFileEx($hImage, @TempDir & "\999.bmp", $sCLSID)
        _GDIP_ShutDown()       
        $CurrentFile = @TempDir & "\999.bmp"
    EndIf
;~ Sleep(500)
    RegWrite('HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop', 'Wallpaper', 'reg_sz', $CurrentFile)
    DllCall("user32", "int", "SystemParametersInfo", "int", 20, "int", 0, "str", $CurrentFile, "int", 0)
EndFunc ;==>_ChangeWallpaper

EDIT: Also have a look at Wallpaper Rotater by Piano_Man

Cool!!! Thx man!!! :)

One problem. When I use it, I get this error:

---------------------------
AutoIt Error
---------------------------
Line 41  (File "C:\Users\Draygoes\Desktop\AutoItLib.au3"):

Func _API_MultiByteToWideChar($sText, $iCodePage=0, $iFlags=0)

Error: Duplicate function name.
---------------------------
OK   
---------------------------

Am I using the function wrong?

My code:

#Include <A3LGDIPlus.au3>
#include 'AutoItLib.au3'
_ChangeWallpaper("C:\Users\Draygoes\Desktop\custom wallpapers\Comp-14.jpg")


Func _ChangeWallpaper($currentfile)
    RegWrite('HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop', 'TileWallpaper', 'reg_sz', '0')
    RegWrite('HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop', 'WallpaperStyle', 'reg_sz', '2')
   
    $x = 0
    While $x = 0
    $CurrentFile = RotateFiles()
    If StringRight($CurrentFile,3) = "jpg" Or StringRight($CurrentFile,3) = "bmp" Then $x = 1
    WEnd
   
    If StringRight($CurrentFile,3) = "jpg" Then
        _GDIP_StartUp()
        $hImage = _GDIP_ImageLoadFromFile($CurrentFile)
        $sCLSID = _GDIP_EncodersGetCLSID("BMP")
        _GDIP_ImageSaveToFileEx($hImage, @TempDir & "\999.bmp", $sCLSID)
        _GDIP_ShutDown()       
        $CurrentFile = @TempDir & "\999.bmp"
    EndIf
;~ Sleep(500)
    RegWrite('HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop', 'Wallpaper', 'reg_sz', $CurrentFile)
    DllCall("user32", "int", "SystemParametersInfo", "int", 20, "int", 0, "str", $CurrentFile, "int", 0)
EndFunc;==>_ChangeWallpaper

Oh sorry... Needed to remove a bit, since I directly leeched the function out of one of DaProgramer's programs. :)

#Include <A3LGDIPlus.au3>
_ChangeWallpaper("C:\Users\Draygoes\Desktop\custom wallpapers\Comp-14.jpg")


Func _ChangeWallpaper($currentfile)
    RegWrite('HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop', 'TileWallpaper', 'reg_sz', '0')
    RegWrite('HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop', 'WallpaperStyle', 'reg_sz', '2')
    If StringRight($CurrentFile,3) = "jpg" Then
        _GDIP_StartUp()
        $hImage = _GDIP_ImageLoadFromFile($CurrentFile)
        $sCLSID = _GDIP_EncodersGetCLSID("BMP")
        _GDIP_ImageSaveToFileEx($hImage, @TempDir & "\999.bmp", $sCLSID)
        _GDIP_ShutDown()      
        $CurrentFile = @TempDir & "\999.bmp"
    EndIf
;~ Sleep(500)
    RegWrite('HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop', 'Wallpaper', 'reg_sz', $CurrentFile)
    DllCall("user32", "int", "SystemParametersInfo", "int", 20, "int", 0, "str", $CurrentFile, "int", 0)
EndFunc;==>_ChangeWallpaper

That seems so unsimple! I use this one too!

; copy files to destination
FileCopy ( "\\server\Install\LOGO's\client\MEGA95.BMP" , "C:\Windows" )
; set background image
RegWrite("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop","Wallpaper","REG_SZ","C:\Windows\MEGA95.BMP")

Of course this is from an app that installs fonts, changes the screensaver, and changes the windows theme as well.

My version converts .jpg to bitmaps...
