• Replace the Windows 7 desktop. Automatically change desktop wallpapers (pictures) in Windows

    Good day, dear readers. Next up is an article about operating room settings Windows systems 7. The article is short, since the material is not complicated, but, in my opinion, it will be useful for some novice users. Today we will talk about How to change the desktop wallpaper of the Windows 7 operating system.

    Desktop wallpaper– regular images that can be downloaded from the Internet, or photographs taken by you. The main requirement when using new images as desktop wallpaper is that the size of the pictures should be the same as the screen resolution. You can ignore this condition, but then the images on the desktop can be stretched, flattened, i.e. displayed incorrectly

    No additional description is needed for today’s material, since the task is very simple: how to set new wallpaper on your desktop. Let's proceed directly to execution:

    1. Right-click on a file-free area of ​​the desktop. A context menu will appear.

    Fig 1. Desktop context menu.

    2. Go to the “Personalization” item in the context menu. A window will open to manage themes for the Windows 7 operating system.

    3. In this window you need to click on the link “ Desktop background ". Note that this window also contains options for changing the color of window borders, the appearance of windows, and managing sound design and operating system screensaver. After this, a window for setting up your desktop wallpaper will appear.

    — indicate the directory in which the images that will be used as desktop wallpaper are located. We do this using the button « Review".

    — mark the images you want to use. The “Select All” button allows you to mark all added pictures. The “Clear All” button, accordingly, unchecks all images.

    — specify the position of the image using the drop-down menu.

    As is known background picture desktop in Windows 7 initial edition standard methods cannot be changed in the control panel and context menu There is no “Personalization” item, the background image is hard-coded. In this article we will look at several ways to get around this limitation. But it should be remembered that formally this is a violation of the terms of the license.

    Step-by-step instructions on how to do this are below.

    Very important!

    I. If, while trying to change the desktop background, your screen turns black or after loading you see only a black screen background, then:

    1. Make sure that in the section “Control Panel\Accessibility\Ease of Access Center\Optimize screen image” next to the item “Remove background images (if possible)” you do not have a checkmark.
    2. Run the REGEDIT command (Start -> find programs and folders -> regedit -> Enter)
    3. You need the branch “HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Control Panel/Desktop/”, go to it and select “Desktop” with the mouse
    4. On the right side of the window, find the key called "Wallpaper". It should contain the following value "%windir%\web\wallpaper\windows\img0.jpg". If it contains something else, then the initial version of Windows 7 installs instead standard background"black screen".
    5. Set the value there to “%windir%\web\wallpaper\windows\img0.jpg” (without quotes) and reboot.
