Windows 7 Task Scheduler & Python - Wallpaper doesn't change

Question

I am trying to execute Python code like clockwork to refresh a Windows 7 desktop background. It runs consummately when begun from the command-line, however not as a planned undertaking. 

Code:

import ctypes

# According to MSDN/other websites

SPI_SETDESKWALLPAPER = 20

# Update wallpaper

ctypes.windll.user32.SystemParametersInfoA(SPI_SETDESKWALLPAPER, 0, pathToWallpaper, 0)

The scheduled task runs, and my transitory .bmp (at pathToWallpaper) is made, yet the work area doesn't refresh.

Is there anything I'm missing? If yes, please let me know. 

Answer 1

Just make sure whether the Scheduled task is executing with a similar advantage as you.
