Change Wallpaper in Windows 7
I have written a small vbs script to download and change the registry for the current users wallpaper. however it copies and does the change but the wallpaper does not change... any ideas on errors in the below code?
Option Explicit
Dim WshShell, strValue, sleepTime, oFSO
strValue = "C:wallpaper.bmp"
sleepTime = 30000
Set oFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
oFSO.CopyFile "\anspksnms1OSDScriptswallpaperwallpaper.bmp", "C:"
Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
WshShell.RegWrite "HKCUControl PanelDesktopWallpaper", strValue
WScript.Sleep sleepTime
WshShell.Run "%windir%System32RUNDLL32.EXE user32.dll, UpdatePerUserSystemParameters", 1, False
Set WshShell = Nothing
Also, there may be a reason you are using VB Script, but PowerShell may provide an alternative blogs.technet.com/b/heyscriptingguy/archive/2009/02/05/…

I'm not much of a vbscripter, but maybe try this?
wshShell.run "cmd /c RunDll32.exe USER32.DLL,UpdatePerUserSystemParameters", 1, True
