So I've been playing with various "shortcuts" in the form of batch files on my main (and only) retro config for some time: these disable Direct3D acceleration, or force a graphics card into 66/66 Mhz mode for 2D tasks (it's a Geforce 2 so it doesn't have low-power modes otherwise) and back to stock speed, or slow down and speed up the whole system, etc., and I love it!
What I've yet to understand, however, is:
- How to change a Windows theme (or just the wallpaper) from command line If it can be done by using a Registry switch, for example - it could also be incorporated into a batch file, which is my goal (to be able to visually change Windows environment when "emulating" another PC from my past by slowing down the P3 Celeron with Throttle). I've searched the Registry and tried a few things, but neither this nor Googling how to achieve that has helped much;
- Is it possible to disable/enable a device listed in the Device Manager from command line or Registry? What I want it for is to be able to turn off a USB Wi-Fi dongle during hot summer days when idling, so that it simply "lives" longer - as this thing does get quite hot to the touch at times (so I disable it anyways, but doing it every time from the Device Manager is tedious).
Thanks in advance for any advice or information on this!
