Check out SPI_SETDESKTOPWALLPAPER action.

EDIT:

Just took a look inside his proggie
Thats what he is doing, the SystemParametersInfo. He sets the wallpaper styles via registry.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop

ya.. tht's the only way brother... SPI_SETDESKTOPWALLPAPER... but just by adding it wont change the wallpaper... i had to import DLLS (user32) for acquiring permissions...

but i made it easier for novices bro... also i included the preview and timer settings... anyways... thnks for trying my little software..

Only if u make a few changes
1. The program should start minimised.
2. Remove the close button, or change it to minimised.

Keep up the good work.

YOUR WISH IS MY COMMAND... just keep checking this thread and i will post the new version of it after including the feature u wanted..

FYI:: If you right-click the system tray icon, it will give u options..... If u double click it, the the wallpaper will be changed..
