using Microsoft.Win32;

void SetWallpaper(string imagePath)
{
    RegistryKey key = Registry.CurrentUser.OpenSubKey(@"Control Panel\Desktop", true);
    key.SetValue("WallpaperStyle", "2"); // 2 = "Stretch" wallpaper style
    key.SetValue("TileWallpaper", "0"); // 0 = disable wallpaper tiling
    SystemParametersInfo(0x0014, 0, imagePath, 0x0001 | 0x0002); // 0x0014 = SPI_SETDESKWALLPAPER, 0x0001 = update desktop immediately, 0x0002 = apply settings to all monitors
}

[DllImport("user32.dll", CharSet = CharSet.Auto)]
static extern int SystemParametersInfo(int uAction, int uParam, string lpvParam, int fuWinIni);

string imagePath = @"C:\MyFolder\MyImage.jpg"; // replace with the path to the desired wallpaper image
SetWallpaper(imagePath);
Console.WriteLine("Wallpaper changed successfully.");

the SetWallpaper() method takes a string argument imagePath, which is the path to the image file to use as the wallpaper. The registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop is opened, and the WallpaperStyle and TileWallpaper values are set to "2" and "0" respectively, to stretch the wallpaper and disable tiling. The SystemParametersInfo() function is then used to set the desktop wallpaper to the specified image file, using the SPI_SETDESKWALLPAPER parameter to indicate that the wallpaper should be set, and the 0x0001 | 0x0002 parameter to indicate that the desktop should be updated immediately and the wallpaper should be applied to all monitors.
