Find the path of your desktop background.

I have a gigantic folder of desktop backgrounds scraped from various online sources. I have them all in the same folder set to "shuffle". Occasionally, I'll come across one that I don't like and want to remove it from my hard drive, but finding it manually among thousands of images is too time-consuming.

This program examines the registry to find what image is currently displayed on the desktop. By default, it prints it to the console, but it has a few flags to change its behavior:

  • /explorer - Selects the file in a new Windows Explorer window
  • /install - Installs a context menu extension that runs the program in /explorer mode when right clicking on the desktop.
  • /uninstall - Removes the aforementioned shell extension.

This code is BSD 3-clause licensed.
