reg add "HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop" /v Wallpaper /f /t REG_SZ /d wallpaper.bmp
reg add "HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop" /v WallpaperStyle /f /t REG_SZ /d 10
timeout /t 2 /nobreak
RUNDLL32.EXE user32.dll,UpdatePerUserSystemParameters 
start audio.mp3
pause

I tried to change my background using a .bat file, and I created this code but it doesn't work, what did I do wrong? (this is my first time using batch files)

The wallpaper.bmp and audio.mp3 files are in the same path as the batch file.

@lin Please learn how to [format code](https://stackoverflow.com/help/formatting) correctly. – DavidPostill Aug 28 '16 at 12:23
Well, the audio.mp3 problem will be solved easily. Replace `start audio.mp3` with `start "" audio.mp3`. – Matthew Horvath Aug 28 '16 at 12:35

Refer to the files with `%~dp0` prefixed to point to the container of the batch script... – aschipfl Aug 28 '16 at 14:00
