31635 2002-01-17 10:13:00 Hi,

I am running windows NT4 and would like to find out how to update my desktop without logging off and on again.

I am trying to change the wallpaper by modifying the regestry HKCU\control panel\desktop
wallpaper.

However I need to apply the change or log out and then in.

I have tried to kill explorer and relaunch but that only works on win9x

The answer is out there - but who's got it ??

Unfortunately this has to be completely without interaction.
The reg update is done via bat file and the update must be too. Thanks anyway
