I could write an example how to change the registry but it wouldn't work.. it's not like windows is checking the registry every second to see if a user changed the wallpaper via regedit or via a script. After you change the registry you would have to make windows reload the registry setting somehow, I know "log off, log in" works but the best solution would be to get a 3rd party CLI application.. I googled a little and found this..
