It didn't make a difference, though. When I test my task after creating it (right click > run) this is what happens: http://i.imgur.com/4BlML.png

Is there a way for me to manually test command.exe? When I double click it it just tells me no command line parameters were found.

EDIT:
The problem was the way I was creating it. I was using weekly so I could specify week days and exclude weekends. I was also choosing "Run even when user is not logged in" and "Use Administrator rights" or however that part is worded. I have it working now by following your guide word-for-word. Thank you very much for your time!

One thing I noticed in your original post, you're using the -monitorloadprofile switch. If you're changing the Wallpaper Profiles, it should be the -wallpaperloadprofile switch.

Can you double-check that you're using the correct one? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/changing-wallpaper-themes-at-specific-times-of-day/?ID=6e321386-80da-46a2-97a6-62b2f6a18f11#3 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 02:06:21 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/changing-wallpaper-themes-at-specific-times-of-day/?ID=6e321386-80da-46a2-97a6-62b2f6a18f11#3 DisplayFusion hey thanks a lot for writing a guide! Unfortunately I had already tried that to no avail. The problem must be with something other than Display Fusion ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/changing-wallpaper-themes-at-specific-times-of-day/?ID=6e321386-80da-46a2-97a6-62b2f6a18f11#2 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 02:04:10 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/changing-wallpaper-themes-at-specific-times-of-day/?ID=6e321386-80da-46a2-97a6-62b2f6a18f11#2 DisplayFusion Good timing! I actually just wrote up some instructions today on how to do this

Please let me know if you have any other questions at all.

Thanks! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/changing-wallpaper-themes-at-specific-times-of-day/?ID=6e321386-80da-46a2-97a6-62b2f6a18f11 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 01:03:01 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/changing-wallpaper-themes-at-specific-times-of-day/?ID=6e321386-80da-46a2-97a6-62b2f6a18f11 DisplayFusion Hi there,

First i'll mention that I love this program. It's really, (really!) great!

Now the problem i'm having is with scheduling a task (two, actually) to switch my profile from "home" to "work". I've read the command line help page, and while it does mention all the syntax for getting the theme switch to work, it doesn't mention where it is I have to put that syntax.

Call me stupid, I just can't work it out :/

I've tried sticking -monitorloadprofile "Home" in the .exe's file name (Windows obviously doesn't like that one bit) i've put it in the argument section on the Action tab in task scheduler, and i've put it at the end of the program/script to open, like this: "C:\Program Files (x86)\DisplayFusion\DisplayFusionCommand.exe" -monitorloadprofile "Home"

None of these seem to work. Anyone able to let me know what i'm doing wrong?

Thanks! ]]>
