> Jacob Schmidt > _______________________________________________ > Tutor maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] > http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor Here's the code: import sys import os import _winreg key = _winreg.OpenKey(_winreg.HKEY_CURRENT_USER, \ r"Control Panel\Desktop", 0, _winreg.KEY_ALL_ACCESS) _winreg.SetValueEx(key, "Wallpaper", 0,_winreg.REG_SZ, \ os.path.abspath(sys.argv[1])) It has one defect though. You'll need to logout/login or restart Windows to apply the changes. I don't know how to apply them immediately. -- Andrey _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
