There is a script by the "Four Guys from Rolla" crew that does this; I used it in an HTA that displays my wallpaper collection and permits me to change the image or application mode (stretch/tile/etc.). I couldn't find it again with a quick Google search, so I'm going to re-post it here.

Brian, my google beats your google.

cheers, jw

p.s. I couldn't resist commenting on the code. It's extremely
impressive -- after all, who would have thunk that you could
do something like that in vbs? Or even want to attempt it?

On-the-other hand, UGH!!! All that messy byte-manipulation
being done without the benefits of enabling features found
in other languages. I have seen similar code (to gfxspex)
written in vb, using byte arrays and "move byte" operations.
But even there with vb's increased functionality, it still
looks awkward.

Yes, I know there are plenty of scripters out there who will
never-never-never use any (unreliable and untrustworthy)
3rd-party controls, and this code is a prime example of the
lengths to which one will go to avoid using any 3rd-party
controls.
