can you make it so you can choose a picture from the form, not from a saved location - just on the form, i want to make it automatically select the picture without user interaction, great vid - thanks!

[imback218]

you mean that it sets the wallpaper, from the form's background image? if so.

SetWallpaper(Me.BackgroundImag­e)

that should work. :)

Does it work in Windows 7 Ultimate?

@L3t1337 I think it only works in Vista or lower - I'm getting the same error on Windows 7. I've tried everything but it must be just how 7 sets the wallpaper.

[functi0norg]

nice, also add a button, call it browser and add the code:

OpenFileDialog1.ShowDialog()

TextBox1.Text = OpenFileDialog1.FileName

bit more user friendly :)
