Windows 8.1 Desktop wallpaper not shown if Explorer is not running

Hi,

I set wallpaper image using registry:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop]
"Wallpaper"="C:\\Windows\\Web\\Wallpaper\\Windows\\img0.jpg"

Problem is that I need to show wallpaper WITHOUT explorer running.

W7 and W8:  If explorer is running, wallpaper is shown correctly.

W8:               If I end task "Windows Explorer" via task manager, wallpaper disappear and only blank (dark blue) screen is shown.

W7:               If I end task explorer.exe wallpaper is still shown.

Anyone knows how to show a image without explorer running on Windows 8?

Regards,

Tomas Ryba
