I am having in VB.NET 2010. I am writing an app to change the background wallpaper kinda a little project I am making for my wife's grandma. It is a multiple wallpaper changer to change the wallpaper based on a list of images she adds. Anyways! I have everything setup except the fact that it doesn't change the wallpaper...
This code here:
Public Declare Auto Function SystemParametersInfo Lib "user32.dll" (ByVal uAction As Integer, _
ByVal uParam As Integer, _
ByVal lpvParam As String, _
[CODE]...
Will NOT change the wallpaper but the same code works in VB6 I tried it because I have made something like it before in VB6 but it was a game that changed the wallpaper. Anyways, using the above code in VB6 works(well with a change to the SystemParametersInfo declare to work within VB6. But it doesn't work in VB.NET. I have NO IDEA why everything gets set in the registry just fine from VB.NET but I just cannot seem to get it to update the wallpaper...

I have a logon script which changes the desktop brackground picture in the registry. The only problem is this change isn't applied until the user logs off and on again. I currently use a small program which uses SHChangeNotify(&H8000000, &H1000, 0, 0) but this will not refresh the wallpaper. I was also hoping this would refresh the Taskbar because I change a registry setting which removes a toolbar.
