    Alrighty guys.

    I need some help with CMD.
    I'm trying to code a program that changes the wallpaper of the desktop (all other methods are blocked). The way I'm attempting to do this is:

    1. User is presented with a Windows select box which they need to select the photo
    2. The program modifies the registry value for Wallpaper (I know it) with the new file location.

    Problem no. 1# How do I get a windows select box? (like, code it in a .bat file)

    Literally, the only thing we can do is run CMD.
