Vbs refresh desktop windows 7

Thank you for visiting our blog and providing feedback… sorry for the delay in responding to your message. Skip to content. Overview Our scenario As mentioned earlier, our customer was basically using Group policies to centrally manage and deploy Desktop Wallpaper on corporate workstations and laptops.

After some research on internet, we have found that it was possible to use a command line that would theoretically refresh the desktop wallpaper Option 1 — Rundll. We had to find another option. Option 2 — Powershell Script always working Again, searching through internet and gathering information about this specific topic, we discovered that it would be possible to use some specific windows dll that could be loaded into a Powershell script.

Probably multiple options would exists and we will present some of them hereafter Option 1 — Immediate Scheduled Task GPO So, the first option would be to push a immediate schedule tasks through the network using Group Policies preferences so the new desktop wallpaper would be visible to the user quite quickly after you have modified the GPO.

Right-click anywhere on the right pane and select the option Immediate Tasks at least Windows 7 Click on Picture for Better Resolution In the new Immediate tasks dialog box, Provide a name for the task and leave default for the other settings.

Move to the action tab Click on Picture for Better Resolution Click on new and in the new Action dialog box, provide the correct information Click on Picture for Better Resolution In the script, type powershell.

Option 2 — Login script or startup folder or scheduled task, create a windows service Now, another option would be to modify again the script in order to have it running on a specific interval in an infinite loop and distributed to the target machines.

Click on Picture for Better Resolution You have multiple options obviously. Hope you enjoyed this post Till next time See ya. Ubuntu — Ubuntu Keep up the good work and keep sharing your insights.
