Wscript.Quit

okay, makes sense, thank you!

Please feel free to use my slightly different wallpaper script. This one opens the folder and highlights the image.

Const HKCU = &H80000001 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER

Set oReg=GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" _
            & ".\root\default:StdRegProv")

sKeyPath = "Control Panel\Desktop\"
sValueName = "TranscodedImageCache"
oReg.GetBinaryValue HKCU, sKeyPath, sValueName, sValue

sContents = ""

For i = 24 To UBound(sValue)
  if sValue(i) = 0 and sValue(i+1) = 0 then exit for
  sByte = sValue(i)+sValue(i+1)*256
  sContents = sContents & ChrW(sByte)
  i=i+1
next
CreateObject("Wscript.Shell").Run "explorer.exe /select, """ & sContents & """"

What are the odds this was exactly what i was looking for and you just posted it 19 days ago?

Thank you!
