Hey, Jeff,



The simplest solution is to use the Picture.SaveToFile method.  Check the online help documentation for some of the more complicated details but a very easy test (in DelphiScript) looks like this:



procedure TestPictureStuff;



var

    PictObj;



begin

PictObj := Sys.Desktop;



PictObj.Picture.SaveToFile('C:\TEMP\Desktop.jpg');

end;
