Answering my own question ... with the use of PowerPro this can be hacked together ... almost. <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://powerpro.webeddie.com/">http://powerpro.webeddie.com/</a><!-- m -->

You can use this command line to make PowerPro switch your desktop wallpaper

Code:
"C:\Program Files\PowerPro\powerpro.exe" *Wallpaper ChangeTo c:\newpicture.jpg

You can also set the style:

Code:
"C:\Program Files\PowerPro\powerpro.exe" *Wallpaper Style stretch

You can thus make a batch file with this in it:

Code:
@echo off
"C:\Program Files\PowerPro\powerpro.exe" *Wallpaper Style %1
"C:\Program Files\PowerPro\powerpro.exe" *Wallpaper ChangeTo %2

Well the problem I'm having is that this just doesn't seem to work in TLB (3.2.2). I can set the default program within Button Properties but try as I might, it doesn't seem to have any effect on what happens when I click the item.

Can anyone confirm that the Default program setting actually works on the items in a virtual folder menu in TLB? I can't even get things working for one of the builtin defaults (items shown when you click "..." button), like Properties. I click the image and it just does the default action every time.

EDIT: I've just realized that setting the Button Properties for a menu, evidently does not affect its children. I'll take this to another thread.
