Hi guys,

Looking for a small program, that will change my wallpaper to a random jpeg from a specified folder each day, or each time I reboot.
Any suggestions?

I use wallpaper manager at http://www.wallpapermanager.de.vu/ it works
fine on my vista laptop.
it remembers the directory and can auto change image from 1 second to hours
or just at boot.

Muralpix is just right for me. On my XP system it provides a combination
of features that cannot be found in another wallpaper app, such as
controllable calendar, controllable borders and frames, automated
colors, ultra simple folder selection, and more.

It's earned my dollars. Hopefully $$ support will motivate further
development from this imaginative/competent author.

Thanks for the referral.

Whoops!
I liked Muralpix, but not that much.

Odd, the page renders identically on FF3.5.3 and IE8 here.

I'm not sure at this point if it's just reloading or redirecting. Looks
like the shout.php script is looking for something on slave4.redio.info.
AFAICT this belongs to the domain host. I don't think that this is an issue
of the site not loading correctly in FF, as much as another browser would
not necessarily alert you to the reload/redirect thing.

OTOH, I didn't know about the redirect/reload warning so thanks for
bringing it up, I appreciate it.
