Wallpaper

Hello, I'm working in a CD Multimedia...

Is there a aplication in flash or a EXE aplication to put a JPEG image as the desktop wallpaper.

WallPapr is a FREE utility that will do this for BMP files. To use JPEG files the user needs to have Active Desktop enabled (BMP files are the only natively supported format on all Windows platforms).

Hello :)

Thanks Northcode for the utility, it works fine...
A very useful utility for multimedia.

The utilities proxy, 2destop, Wallpapr are the best for Cd's multimedia.

Hi Northcode

I have burned my CD multimedia with the images in BMP and the file "wallpaper".

It works fine, change the actual wallpaper of my desktop
But when I remove the CD from the pc (take of), the wallpaper of my desktop turns blank

Can "wallpapr" copy the BMP to the pc(Windows Directory) to fix this problem ???

Thanks,

Sethians

I have another utility called 2Desktop that lets you copy files from a CD to the users desktop, I could make a quick change to make it install files to another location for you. I'll call it 2WinDir and it's literally a 5 min change. Stay tuned and I'll post a link to both utilities in a couple minutes.

It's done... I even tested it!

2Desktop www.northcode.com/misc/2desktop.zip
2WinDir www.northcode.com/misc/2windir.zip

I just modified the instructions for 2Desktop to create the documentation for 2WinDir. It should be correct, but if you find any errors please let me know.

Enjoy :)

Thanks Northcode

But with the new aplicatión, can you send a example(wallpaper) to how do that.

Because I don't undestand how will work (paths) ..

What will be first ?
2WinDir and Wallpapr then ?


Sethians

Thanks for 2WinDir Northcode

One more thing :)

Can you configure the wallpapr to open direct of the windows directory..

Example:
Wallpapr.exe STRETCH Wallpaper01.bmp
(To open from the windows/wallpaper01.bmp)

Because usign the Path C:\Windows\Wallpaper01.bmp
Some computers Os Windows are installed on other drives or directories.

Thanks FOR ALL !!!

Put the 2 lines of code below in a BAT file called COW.BAT. To keep the path nonsense to a minimum (for now) put the BAT file, 2windir.exe, wallpapr.exe and cow.bmp all in the same directory (the fscommand folder if you're using Flash MX or MX 2004). Now you can say fscommand("exec", "cow.bat") and you should see the image appear tiled on your desktop.

Code:

---

2windir.exe /f cow.bmp
wallpapr.exe tile %windir%\cow.bmp

---

The %windir% is a Windows environment variable that will be expanded when you run the BAT file. So you could also have done this without 2windir and I could have saved a few mins if I had been thinking straight. This BAT file will do the same job without 2windir :)

Code:

---

copy cow.bmp %windir%\cow.bmp
wallpapr.exe tile %windir%\cow.bmp

---

Which is even easier, but hey - if you ever need 2windir you have it now :)

You can use my Proxy utility to hide the DOS box that appears when you run a BAT file from Flash. The best part? It's FREE. You can download the utility from www.northcode.com/misc/proxy.zip. There's minimal documentation in the ZIP file, but there was a big disussion about it (and some other utilities I wrote) in this thread...
