If you use other format files, refer to: 1) the file before converted: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\ConvertedWallpaper 2) the file after converted: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\OriginalWallpaper BTW, you can also use the following key for the Wallpaper, in addition to the key you refered. I believe PP resorts to this one: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\Wallpaper Attention: PowerPro's Web site has moved: http://www.ppro.org Yahoo!
