There are by default 7 backgrounds in WMP which can be changed by editing Registry.
Now, how to actually place any wallpaper or picture as WMP background.
You will need Restorator 2007 to edit few things.


1) Run Registry Editor and navigate to: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\Preferences

2) Search for a DWORD value named LibraryBackgroundImage

3) Change it to 0 to 7 and see the effect. only 0-7 are valid data for this DWORD value.
Now, change it to 6

Go to C:\windows\system32

Look for wmploc.dll (back it up, and take ownership)

Open it with Restorator

Navigate to 257

Now look for LIBRARY_BACKGROUND 7.PNG

Right-click, assign to any pic in the format given i.e jpg

Any resolution and bit will work.

You can type ipconfig in command prompt to view the IP’s.

If you want to restrict the use of this command, follow the steps below.

Go to C:\Windows\System32\

Ipconfig file will be situated in here. You will need to take ownership to make any changes to it, and the right-click take ownership might not work here, so it has to be done manually. See here...

Make a backup of ipconfig file just in case.

Now all you have to do is to rename it anything you wish. The command won’t work anymore. To make it work again, just rename that file to ipconfig.
