wallpaper change

I am looking for the correct API to change the windows 7 starter edition wallpaper

microsoft has done somethi开发者_如何学编程ng to avoid having the windows background wallpaper changed

In short, one of the limitations of Windows 7 Starter is that it cannot change the background; essentially there is no Microsoft/Windows API.

I did find a discussion at StackExchange/SuperUser discussing this. I would repost parts of it, but it's long. What I got out of it is--either do a registry hack and a permissions change (not viable for program distribution) or run a third party app over the windows display.
