Changing Wallpaper every start up

unwashed potato! · 5 Apr 2006 at 20:50

Title kind of self explantory. i am bascially wanting to know if there is any way of making it so that everytime i start up my computer (i have Media Centre Edition) it has a different wallpaper without my doing it. i know that my mum could do this on ME so i cant understand why you wouldnt be able to on MC. I am using Ultramon if that helps.

Also Ultramon says that i have only 4 days left of the free trail, however i was led to beleive that ultramon was free, is it? or do i have to buy it? if so is there anyway around this,e.g. downloading it again. I know that downloading it again is so slim of working but i just thought maybe it sillily is possible.

thank you

Hi,

Try something like Wallmaster, i think that's what it's called. I used to use it a couple years ago.

Just found the link: http://www.tropicalwares.com/wallmast.html

You can configure to change on startup, or if you like change every X mins

I think you're looking for the wallpaper changer powertoy.

then go to wallpaper changer.

Just had a look at the powertoys and I can't see a wallpaper changer in there :confused:

. Have they removed it then?

EDIT: I found it, it's in the Digital Photography Winter Fun Pack 2003
