@echo off
reg add "HKCU\control panel\desktop" /t REG_SZ /v Wallpaper /d %1 /f

%1 = Location of .bmp Example: c:\mybackround.bmp , not sure , but i think it has to be .bmp
and the next step , since its registry.. you have to restart explorer , you can do that with rundll32

RunDll32.exe USER32.DLL,UpdatePerUserSystemParameters ,1 ,True

nevermind , you dont have to restart explorer .. just update user registry , ^ that worksI tryed that as both a batch file and imidate COMMANDS, it DIDNT work at all as imidate, but wen i made it a batch file, and RAN it, it first says the command was successfully completed then a box would COME up that says
Error in USER32.DLL
Missing Entry:UpdatePerUserSystemParameter,1,TrueHmm id also like to have this working, cant seem to get it though..What's the point of changing the background through the command prompt?

if you have xp it should work , even if it doesent the wallpaper changes if the first part works .. just restart
