Saving JPGs and Setting the Windows background

I have two questions actually,
1. How can you save, from vb to JPG or GIF. VB will open these files, but won't save to them.

2. How can I set the windows background on the fly? Is there an API call that does this?

Thanks,
Aaron

Intel has free code (but you must register) that saves the contents of an Image or PictureBox Control in JPEG format. Try this site http://vbaccelerator.com/ and select vbMedia in the left column and select the 1st
article.
