I have successfully setup an HTML desktop wallpaper through the Display Properties, Desktop tab. What I want to know is how to do it programmatically. <br />
<br />
I have been able to discover that images used for wallpaper are stored in subkeys of HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop. Similarly, HTML files details are stored in subkeys of HKCU\Software\Microsoft\In<wbr />ternet Explorer\Desktop\General. <br />
<br />
I can store data in the former, issue a desktop refresh (oShell.Run &quot;%windir%\System32\RUNDLL3<wbr />2.EXE user32.dll,UpdatePerUserSy<wbr />stemParame<wbr />ters&quot;, 1, True), and have the image appear. However, if I store details in the latter location and do a desktop refresh, nothing happens. <br />
<br />
Presumably, I'm missing a message that needs to be sent somewhere, and UpdatePerUserSystemParamet<wbr />ers ain't it. <br />
<br />
Any clues?

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
