Hm, could it be that it's running on a different desktop? So not on the foreground user's desktop, but on a background Administrator desktop? You could try to run it as the foreground user (Run as field) and see if that helps.

I tried your idea on my Netbook yesterday and it would not work, in fact I could not get the batch file to run either.
These are the windows I got when I tried:

IMHO, the full path to the Frameless.exe (with quotes if it has spaces) and the full path to the image (again with quotes if the path contains spaces), the screen position and the timeout value should go in the Run field in your last screenshot, just like you had them in the batchfile. You could optionally set the Start in field, but that should not be needed for it to work.
If the batchfile won't even work, I'd first check if your paths are correct. Oh, and you should probably not run the exe from a network (UNC) path, it's not forbidden or impossible, but it could cause (security) issues or even prevent frameless to be started.

All the details were in the Run field and when I clicked on apply the folder which contains both the exe and the image appeared in the Start in field.
I copied and pasted what was in the Run field into a batch file and triggered it manually, it worked, so that part was right.
All the files are on the same partition of the hard drive so it cannot be a network issue.

I only have one account on each of my computers, to begin with the default account name appeared in the 'Run as' box, when that did not work I tried changing it to 'Administrator', that did not work either.
What did happen both times was a 'you do not have permission' notice appeared but it still showed up under Scheduled Tasks when I clicked apply.
I even checked the permissions for the files with NTFS Permissions Tool and everything was showing as allowed.

Somehow I thought that handling pictures was a lot more complicated than that, because of various formats and types ...etc. you make it look easy though! -vixay (June 20, 2011, 02:01 AM)

It's really just about letting whichever language you use do the work for you. Basically, Frameless does this:
* Read in user-provided commandline parameters (image path, x/y coords, etc.)
* http://www.autohotkey.com/docs/Scripts.htm#cmd
* Use the AHK GDI+ library to get the image's width and height.
* Create a GUI with a single picture control sized exactly to the dimensions gathered in step two.
* http://www.autohotkey.com/docs/commands/Gui.htm#Add
* http://www.autohotkey.com/docs/commands/GuiControls.htm#Picture
* Show the GUI to the user.
* http://www.autohotkey.com/docs/commands/Gui.htm#Show
So why do all they image viewers cost a bunch and stuff? -vixay (June 20, 2011, 02:01 AM)

IrfanView is free. XNView is free. FastStone Image Viewer is free. IMO, those are three of the most feature-complete image viewers out there.
