How to discover which image file is the current de

Question

It is possible to discover it programatically? It will use the Windows Registry? I'll need to take a screenshot of it and compare with the files on disk? Is it possible to discover even in the desktop slideshow mode?

Answer 1

The registry key is HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop\Wallpaper

Answer 2

public string GetCurrentWallpaper()
{
    using(var subKey = Registry.CurrentUser.OpenSubKey(@"Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Desktop\General", false))
    {
        return subKey.GetValue("WallpaperSource").ToString();
    }
}

Answer 3

You need to use SystemParametersInfo() there is a tutorial on Geekpedia with more information on how to accomplish this with the different Windows OS's and systems.

Answer 4

try this

using Microsoft.Win32;

private string GetCurrentWallpaper()

{
 using(RegistryKey MyWallPaper = Registry.CurrentUser.OpenSubKey("Control Panel\\Desktop", false))
 {
     return MyWallPaper.GetValue("WallPaper").ToString();
 }
}

Bye.
