Worst solution ever:
1- Pictures in 3:4 format not adapted to 16:9 screens (as windows XP usually do...)

2- Subfolder not managed. You have to copy ALL your photo to a common folder (even file shortacts are not supported), as a results it requires double space on hard-disk.

Oh and when I go to properties for it, it does not have the Compatibility tab, so I can't change it to compatibility. Please help~

Does this still work? :\ when I downloaded it and try to run it, it says: Could not write to data file.
I'm using Vista Home.

^^ Windows 7 already allows it. You can set several images as desktop background and set the time interval using Personalization window.

Hi vg, I really love this site of yours. It has taught me a lot ( and still learning!!!) about windows. Like how to edit dll files and other in-dept stuff etc. I discovered this site 2 days ago and spent the whole night learning new stuff!!!. I specifically loved ur article "Transform Windows XP into Windows 7 without using Customization Pack" Thanks for sharing all this.

I went through this article but can you tell me how to change the wallpaper every few seconds(like every 10 or 30 seconds or something) like in Windows 7?
