Background Switcher PowerToy (modded) (http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/regs_edits/powertoys_set1.0.zip)

I can't guarantee that it'll work though. It was originally in Windows PowerToys beta and then taken out. This is a ported version.

cant u make an animated gif with all the pictures? though that would prolly kill you on file size ;)

have you tried StyleXP? i dont use it myself, but i can remember there being an option that allows you 2 change your theme every once in a while, so y no ur wallpaper...........

You could get one that's called "Sexy Desktop" and then just change the pictures on the cycle...

This one is good for 300 days, with extended trial. Don&#39;t know if it has spyware or not.
I know webshots is clean. A smart guy like you could find a crack . B)

The stardust software seems to be shit. The backgrounds got really blurry using the program.
