Homeflash,

Will this</font color=green> (http://www.cia.com.au/luke/command-wallpaper.html><font) work?

<font color=blue>"Function:
Set or remove the Desktop Wallpaper.

Syntax:
WALLPAPER [[drive:][path]]filename] [/C] [/T]

filename - Specifies the bitmap file name.
/C - Centre the bitmap.
/T - Tile the bitmap.

Note:
Type WALLPAPER without any parameters to remove the current Wallpaper from the Desktop."</font color=blue>

Nana...

Actually, I am looking for a win98 based command. like Rundll or something....

I didn't try that. But I really would like to know if Windows OS can do that

Sorry - It sure shows my lack of knowledge!
I went back to have a closer look. The commands belong to an app called "WinOne":

<font color=blue>"WinOne is a Command Line Interface (CLI), similar in concept to the shells cmd.exe and command.com, except that WinOne has been designed to enable you to get the most out of your Windows operating System.
WinOne attempts to make Windows easier to use and to make you more productive when there is a need to work at the command line level. WinOne provides a rich set of commands and batch commands, including additional convenience functions accessed via the System Menu. Essentially, WinOne provides a very powerful working environment, without sacrificing the flexibility and control you get from working at the command line level. "</font color=blue>

Big OOOOOPS and at least 1000 lashes with the wet noodle that I keep handy for just such a purpose!

Thanks Nana, I did search and found that too. However, that's not what I need.. I am thinking of writing of a program using the command line to change wallpaper. Oh well......there goes my program.....
