What Registry has to do with wallpaper changes? |

Anr: The path to the wallpaper file has traditionally been stored in a registry key. With Windows 8 it's instead stored in an ini file in order to support slideshows + per-monitor wallpaper, and synched between there and the registry key (for backwards compatibility). We haven't supported per-monitor wallpapers in LS until very recently (not sure I even released a LS core build with that support yet), and it's actually only included in the rewritten nDesk which I never have time to work on :/ |

I was under impression, that wallpaper changes are propagated with notification system? |
