Windows 7/8 Wallpaper Registry Keys (Slideshow)

I'm wondering where the registry keys are for the wallpaper locations, slideshow duration, and wallpaper fit so I can make a quick registry patch.

Solution

  • You can find wallpaper location and wallpaper fit in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop.

    The information about slideshow is not in Windows registry. You have to open path:

    %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Themes\

    and make sure, that hidden files are visible (you can change that in folder options).

    You can see slideshow.ini. There are tags for root slideshow image and slideshows. I don't know how to decode it. Have fun :)
