Hi,

I've been writing my own "installation CD" for my software and I found the
following function to change the desktop wallpaper.

SystemParametersInfo(SPI_SETDESKWALLPAPER, 0, "MyImage.bmp",
SPIF_UPDATEINIFILE);
SystemParametersInfo(SPI_SETDESKWALLPAPER, 0, "MyImage.bmp",
SPIF_SENDCHANGE);

But, it only accepts BITMAPs. Is there a VCL object or function to
accomplish the same thing, adding JPG or other formats?

Thanks,
Rob
