Re: How to change wallpaper using VBScript?

Save your wallpaper as a bitmap such as mybitmap.bmp, then

Dim WshShell

Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
WshShell.RegWrite "HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop\Wallpaper", mybitmap.bmp
WshShell.Run "%windir%\System32\RUNDLL32.EXE user32.dll,
UpdatePerUserSystemParameters", 1, False

Set WshShell = Nothing

Can someone help with script to change the Windows desktop Wallpaper
picture via VBScript or WSH? With ability to download image from URL
(not from local drive), i will provide a URL to an image which should
be set for a wallpaper.
I know this can be changed via the registry; so a Regwrite script would
do the trick. Does it possible to apply changes immediatelly, or user
must logoff/on for the changes to appear?

thank you.
