This may be of use to some people: Although BGInfo doesn't currently have the functionality to set wallpaper to stretch, I simply run the following commands as part of the batch file that calls BGinfo:
:: Call BGInfo to set background
c:\batches\bginfo.exe /nolicprompt /ic:\batches\bginfo.bgi /timer:0
:: Configure wallpaper to stretch. Prevents tiling when users resize their sessions.
reg add "HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop" /v WallpaperStyle /d 2 /f
reg add "HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop" /v TileWallpaper /d 0 /f
RUNDLL32.EXE user32.dll,UpdatePerUserSystemParameters
This sets the wallpaper type to strech and forces the desktop to re-read the registry and apply these settings. This seems to get the job done for XenApp sessions where previously users were resizing their session or connecting from a different device at a different resolution and finding the BGinfo wallpaper was tiled.
