Background Dock

I can't seem this docklet working. It does generate the correct bmp at c:\program files\yzdock\bgDocklet.bmp it just doesn't seem to want to display as my wallpaper, I just get a blank screen of whatever colour I've set my background to.

This is what I have in my .ini file.

[FILES]
TOTAL_PATHS=1
PATH0=c:\windows\web\wallpaper\
SUBDIRS=0

[IMAGES]
USE_BMP=0
USE_JPG=1

[BACKGROUND]
; 0 = Centered
; 1 = Tiled
; 2 = Stretch
SET_STYLE=0

[EXECUTE]
FILE=C:\Documents and Settings\jet\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet 
Explorer\Quick Launch\Show Desktop.scf

Help please anyone?

Also, is there anyway I can have the Show Desktop.scf not show on my task bar? or does anyone have an alternative icon to the windows default? (preferably b/w)

Just out of curiosity can you try the following:

(1)

Under [FILES] try to set the windows path for wallpapers:

WINDOWS_PATH=C:\Documents and Settings\XXXXX\My Documents\My Pictures\

Change XXXXX to your user name account for windows.

(2)

Make sure no other application is attempting to access the desktop's background.

Make sure Active Desktop is off.

(3)

What version of background docklet are you using. It looks like 0.2, but just wanted to make sure.

Thats all I can think of at the moment.

Thanks for the fast reply, it's working now. I did have a problem with it showing the same file name x2 sometimes x3 on the list though, after resaving the background.ini file and restarting yzdock afew times I've gotten it to work properly and display each file name once.

Also I've deleted the show desktop shortcut, it works without any problems, it just leaves the current windows open after it's changed the wallpaper.

Here's the contents of my ini file, if it's of any intrest to you.
