Have a look at https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/cc144110.aspx

I think the registry path for the desktop background is HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT/DesktopBackground, but looking through my registry I can see some of the handlers I see on my dekstop under /Directory/Background as well.
