Is it possible to replace the desktop wallpaper without persisting the
change? In other words, I want the original picture replaced on program
exit, even if my program crashes or the computer loses power.

I know about SystemParametersInfo(SPI_SETDESKWALLPAPER, 0,
PChar(FileName), SPIF_SENDWININICHANGE) but this is a permanent change.

I've seen a demo where video is played on the desktop under the icons
so I suspect this would be possible.
