Hi,
I´m having some trouble to change the windows wallpaper for users that is inside “User” local group. The execution error log result: “Failed to start procedure”
When I run it with an administrator user, than it works, but I don´t want to give admin permissions for every user on every computer just to change de wallpaper.
Is there a way to work for non-admin users?
This is the script that I have got from the itarian script web-site:
URL=r'https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=MYEXAMPLE_XYZ' #Provide the url which you need to download
fileName = r'images.jpeg' #Provide the filename of the image along with extension.

import ctypes
import shutil
import ssl
ssl._create_default_https_context = ssl._create_unverified_context
workdir=os.environ['PROGRAMDATA']+r' emp'
shutil.rmtree(workdir,ignore_errors=True)
fileName = r'images.jpeg'
if not os.path.exists(workdir):
os.mkdir(workdir)
def Download(workdir, URL):
import urllib2
import os
fileName = r'images.jpeg'
fp = os.path.join(workdir, fileName)
request = urllib2.Request(URL, headers={'User-Agent' : "Magic Browser"})
parsed = urllib2.urlopen(request)
if os.path.exists(workdir):
if not os.path.exists(workdir):
os.makedirs(workdir)
with open(fp, 'wb') as f:
while True:
chunk=parsed.read(100*1000*1000)
if chunk:
f.write(chunk)
else:
break
return fp
