title: Where's the wallpaper registry key in Windows 8?
body: <p>I'm working on a tool that needs to get the current user's wallpaper path.</p>
  
  <p>On Windows 7, I can get that by reading </p>
  
  <p><code>HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Desktop\General\WallpaperSource</code>.</p>
  
  <p>On my Windows 8 installation, that key always has the value </p>
  
  <p><code>C:\Users\Peter\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows Photo Viewer\Windows Photo Viewer Wallpaper.jpg</code></p>
  
  <p>which is not even the wallpaper that's currently set. </p>
  
  <p>Is there any other key I can rely on?</p>
