Basic wallpaper changer

Craig321 · 2 Mar 2008 at 19:27

Hi,

Basically I'd like a piece of software that runs unobtrusively in the background (must have a tray icon though so I can easily open the options etc. if needed).

All I want to set on it is the folder where all my backgrounds are stored and the time to use each wallpaper before it's changed, so something nice and basic.

Thanks,
Craig.

do you mean a timed wallpaper rotator? I use one of those, or did you mean one where you can change it manually yourself?

Yep, a timed wallpaper rotator

If its for XP try "powertoys wallpaper changer" from ( http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...6b-6851-4948-ab76-b5ff22d37d69&displaylang=en ) don't think it work with vista tho but im not sure.

Just checked and as long as you run it with compatibility for XP enabled it works fine on Vista

I used to use Wallpaper Changer, but only ever the option to change on reboot.
