Overview
This sample demonstrates how to retrieve and set wallpaper options of the Active
Desktop (AD) using the AD COM object and its IActiveDesktop
interface.
The regular Windows desktop can only use BMP files as a wallpaper. You can change the picture file using the SystemParametersInfo API, but you have to change the style settings in the Registry. AD lets you use either BMP or JPEG files, and it's easy to change the style used. To use a JPEG file, AD has to be enabled. But you can use the IActiveDesktop interface to set the wallpaper to a BMP file without enabling AD if you want.
