IF YOU ARE RUNNING 64-BIT, you need to edit the "wmploc.dll" file in BOTH the System32 and SysWOW64 folders. :) Cheers!

You need a program called Restorator. You can download a free 30-day trial or buy it, like I did. SUPPORT THE COMPANY! Lol :-)

Anyway, open Restorator

Now, CTRL+O to open a file.
Navigate to C:\Windows\System32
(and if you're running 64-bit, also open the same file in C:\Windows\SysWOW64)

now open the file "wmploc.dll"

Now, navigate down to the folder labeled "257" and open it

Find "Library background 7"

Right click on the file, and "assign to"

Now find your new background picture you want, it can be a JPG, JPEG, or PNG file.

Now, if all you see on the right side is a bunch of code after selecting a new file, don't worry, just pick a different file. I know, sad day, sad day...

Anyway... MAKE SURE WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER IS CLOSED BEFORE YOU SAVE THE FILE!!!!

Now File, Save and open media player, and your background should be changed.

NOTE: you need control of the file "wmploc.dll" to change the pic...

Here's how to take control:

Right click on the "wmploc.dll" file.
Click on "Properties"
Click the "security" tab
below, click "Advanced"
click the "owner" tab
click "edit"
find your username, choose it, and click "Apply"

NOW, close the object's properties and reopen the properties.
Click the "security" tab.
Click "edit"
click "add"
Click "Advanced"
click "find now"
find your username in the list, select it, and click "okay"
close the objects properties, and reopen them
click the "security" tab
click "edit" on top
find your username, select it, and below click the box next to "full control"
now click "apply"

Now close the properties
you now have ownership of the file :)


if you have any questions, shoot me a message or comment, and I will try to get back to you in a timely fashion. :-)

have fun and remember: nothing is impossible!

WMP12 Library Background Changer (youtube won't let me post a link, but googling it will work) is much easier to use, and free, non-trial. Of course it ONLY changes the background image, while Restorator has lots of other functionality, but if this is all you want it for, WMP12 Library Background Changer is easier.

@carniverousmog Definitely, thanks for the recommendation. This will be helpful for people who are a little less tech-savvy.

@Devorakz If I remember correctly, I found it on Google. I can't remember, though. I can upload an entire archive of wallpapers to mediafire and post a download link if you'd like.
