Script to change desktop wall paper?

[Tadashi Inayama]

Is there a script (command line or wsh) to change the desktop wallpaper.

Thanks,

Well the defined wallpaper is sotred in the registry, so you could edit this
value via script, i.e. with regedit /s regfile.reg (regfile being the values
exported from your machine), or you could change the value via reg or regini
(or via Group Policy):

I can run the wsh command to change the registry, but the problem is that
there are several
places where desktop wall paper is configured and I need to know which/where
is the
correct place to change the wall for the scrip to change when the user logs
on,
ie is it in HKCU, Local Machine, or Current Config?

GPO, as far as I know, that changes desktop wallpaper does not apply/work on
terminal servers

This is stored in each user's profile, so you'd want to edit the value in
HKCU at the time of logon.
