Some context, I have a folder from college where all my roommates placed images that were great desktop wallpapers. Thousands of images. Not all are appropriate and I've found some to remove as they show up in my monitors while using that folder as the source for Windows 11 23H2 Desktop Background Slideshow. **What I want is a PS script to run that can display all file paths from each monitor's background image to understand which directory each image is being loaded from with my three (or more) monitors. **
Thanks all!
The first VBS script from below post opens File Explorer and selects one of the images that is being used as a wallpaper, probably from the primary monitor only. Each script doesn't work for my purpose. https://superuser.com/questions/966650/path-to-current-desktop-backgrounds-in-windows-10 What from ChatGPT told me, Windows 11 doesn't expose the info: While Windows allows setting different wallpapers on each monitor, it doesn’t provide a simple built-in way to fetch them programmatically via PowerShell or registry keys without using third-party tools or querying specific configurations. To fully support multi-monitor setups (with distinct wallpapers per monitor), third-party utilities or custom configurations would be required, as Windows doesn't expose this through the standard API.
