Any one know of any prog that will select a random wallpaper when Windows boots up?

It cost's though

Or you could search google with free random wallpaper at boot

I knew a program once. It had thousands of beautiful pictures it downloaded from the software site. Unfortunately I can't remember the name and I uninstalled it after I had taken all its pictures. So I have lots of desktop images you can get, no software though.

Sidebar can randomize wallpapers, and its free: http://www.desktopsidebar.com/

You can also write a little batch file call it "wallpaper.bat" if you like and inside the batch file you can put your background pictures and have it do the following.


REN C:\WINDOWS\BGR\BGR01.BMP BGRXX.BMP
REN C:\WINDOWS\BGR\BGR02.BMP BGR01.BMP
REN C:\WINDOWS\BGR\BGR03.BMP BGR02.BMP
REN C:\WINDOWS\BGR\BGR04.BMP BGR03.BMP
REN C:\WINDOWS\BGR\BGR05.BMP BGR04.BMP
REN C:\WINDOWS\BGR\BGR06.BMP BGR05.BMP
REN C:\WINDOWS\BGR\BGR07.BMP BGR06.BMP
REN C:\WINDOWS\BGR\BGR08.BMP BGR07.BMP
REN C:\WINDOWS\BGR\BGR09.BMP BGR08.BMP
REN C:\WINDOWS\BGR\BGR10.BMP BGR09.BMP
REN C:\WINDOWS\BGR\BGRXX.BMP BGR10.BMP

as you can see from the above example everytime your bootup window you can have it rename the files in such way that he next time you see the next picture in sequence. Its not exactly randomize but it does rotate.

You wold point windows to bgrxx.bmp as the constant picture file.

Nifty idea.
Now, my dos-batch-skills are pretty rusted.
Do you have a solution where it loads a specific pic on a specific day?
(A monday-pic on mondays. A tuesday-pic on tuesdays and so on.
Or when somebody has birthday OR...
*gagh!* *jabber!* *twitch!* *random convulsions*)
