Random Background

Posted 11 January 2003 - 10:32 PM

I don't know if this should go in this topic, but here it is.

Is there some way to have windows load a random background when you start your computer? Also not just any graphic from your hard drive, you can set which ones it can chose from.

in the early preview releases of powertoys for windows XP there was a bkg switcher. if you want it i can send it to you if you have XP. i don't think they will work in any other version... but you can try. it has setting to change it for X number of logons seconds minutes hours weeks months...whatever and you can pick a certain folder to pull the images from. it adds a tab to the display properties dialog so its rather easy to use.
