Hey,
I was trying to have some fun with my boyfriend, chaning his wallpaper. I couldn't figure it out, so I asked him for help, but he couldn't figure it out either. We both run win7, he's running PowerShell v2 and I got v3. We added each-others computers to trusted hosts, set execution policy to unrestricted, enabled psremoting, configured a home group, and know each-others credentials (admin). This is what we have tried:
Add-Type @" using System; using System.Runtime.InteropServices; using Microsoft.Win32; namespace Wallpaper { public enum Style : int { Tile, Center, Stretch, NoChange } public class Setter { public const int SetDesktopWallpaper = 20; public const int UpdateIniFile = 0x01; public const int SendWinIniChange = 0x02; [DllImport("user32.dll", SetLastError = true, CharSet = CharSet.Auto)] private static extern int SystemParametersInfo (int uAction, int uParam, string lpvParam, int fuWinIni); public static void SetWallpaper ( string path, Wallpaper.Style style ) { SystemParametersInfo( SetDesktopWallpaper, 0, path, UpdateIniFile | SendWinIniChange ); RegistryKey key = Registry.CurrentUser.OpenSubKey("Control Panel\\Desktop", true); switch( style ) { case Style.Stretch : key.SetValue(@"WallpaperStyle", "2") ; key.SetValue(@"TileWallpaper", "0") ; break; case Style.Center : key.SetValue(@"WallpaperStyle", "1") ; key.SetValue(@"TileWallpaper", "0") ; break; case Style.Tile : key.SetValue(@"WallpaperStyle", "1") ; key.SetValue(@"TileWallpaper", "1") ; break; case Style.NoChange : break; } key.Close(); } } }"@ [Wallpaper.Setter]::SetWallpaper( 'C:\temp\Wallpaper.bmp', 2 )
invoke-command { powershell.exe -noprofile -executionpolicy Bypass C:\temp\ChangeDesktop.ps1 } -computername Lucius-PC -Credential $cred
Invoke-Command -ComputerName Lucius-Pc { Set-ItemProperty -Path "HKCU:Control Panel\Desktop" -name WallPaper -value c:\temp\wallpaper.bmp } -cred $cred
