This should work for the desktop wallpaper:

DECLARE SHORT SystemParametersInfo IN WIN32API ;
   INTEGER uiAction, ;
   INTEGER uiParam, ;
   STRING @ pVoid, ;
   INTEGER fWinINI
#DEFINE SPI_SETDESKWALLPAPER	20
#DEFINE SPIF_UPDATEINIFILE	1

lcFile = "C:\Winnt\Gone Fishing.bmp"

=SystemParametersInfo(SPI_SETDESKWALLPAPER, 0, @lcFile, SPIF_UPDATEINIFILE)

For the icons look at the WshShortcut object, IconLocation property.
