    In Win7, path is stored in the registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\Wallpaper. You can obtain it using

    reg query "HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop" /v Wallpaper

    But then you need a bit parsing of returned value.

    in WinXP file name is 'C:\Documents and Settings\%USERNAME%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Wallpaper1.jpg' (or bmp depending on image type).
