EDIT: that is about how to do it on close, but it should give you an idea.

Nope, doesn't work. The "The operation completed successfully." but I refreshed and still the same.

You tried this one? I think it doesn't work how you would want it too, let me look up something else

reg add "HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop" /v Wallpaper /f /t REG_SZ /d c:\images\wallpaper.bmp

Yeah I tried that one and changed the destination.

 

EDIT: It said it was successful, but nothing changed.
