Forums -> UltraMon™ -> Change path to wallpaper files

I've just migrated to Windows 7 from XP and brought along all my bmp/.wallpaper files (~300) and placed them in the according directory.

When I load Ultramon's wallpaper manager all my wallpapers show up however all the image paths point to the folder location on my old workstation.

Is there a way to update these?

I have tried using a find/replace in-file program but the character encodings aren't jiving and the resulting image path in the manager is all Chinese characters.

I have emailed Christian about this but assumed at least one other user must have run into this and possibly found a solution.

Thanks

I have uploaded an application which does this, UmwpChangePaths.exe. There's no easy way to do this manually as the files are in a binary format.

I would recommend keeping a backup of the original wallpaper files, I haven't done much testing with the tool yet. Let me know if you encounter any problems.
