One of my issues with Screenconnect is that it disables the remote/guest computer desktop wallpaper during a remote session. There are times when a I need to see the remote computer’s desktop wallpaper. If this feature does exist, please let me know how to activate it. If it does not exist, I recommend and hope this capability is incorporated in a future release of Screenconnect. I am currently considering Screenconnect as a replacement for my Logmein Rescue service, and all of Logmein’s remote control products allow the support technician to enable or disable seeing the remote user’s desktop wallpaper.

Attached is an EXE that'll do it for you. Make sure to put it in your toolbox for one-click access.

Here is the code:

Code:
using System;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;

class ResetWallpaper
{
    public static void Main()
    {
        ResetWallpaper.SystemParametersInfo(0x0014, 0, IntPtr.Zero, 0x2);
    }

    [DllImport("user32", SetLastError = true)]
    [return: MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.Bool)]
    public static extern bool SystemParametersInfo(uint uiAction, uint uiParam, IntPtr pvParam, uint fWinIni);
}
File Attachment(s):
ResetWallpaper.exe (4kb) downloaded 39 time(s).

I tested your code and it works fine. Although you have to run the tool again once you disconnect and reconnect later, this will do for now. Thanks.

Harry, thanks for the links, but they deal with Remote Desktop in Windows and Terminal Services and have nothing to do with how ScreenConnect functions.
