is there any way i can get my computer desktop background to change automatically and regularly?

Answer 1

Yeah, go to Webshots. It's a downloadable program where you can get photos and manage them so that they can become your desktop. One of the settings allows the desktop picture to change when you want it to - automatically or manually.

Enjoy!

Great Idea! I doubt it for now though. Or you could get really drunk and change it and then you won't remember doing it and it will seem like it happened automatically. This is also a good time to set your alarm clock ahead 5 minutes so you won't know the next day and you will start getting to work on time.

Answer 5

Are you referring to "using My Pictures as a slideshow" for a screensaver?

I created a folder for "My Pictures NOT for Slideshow" where I keep pictures I do not want in the slideshow, then use My Pictures for the so-called slideshow. It is fun, but keep in mind it is running in the background and will use your memory.

If you mean the stationary color or a graphic, so far as I know there is no automatic change for this in WinXP.

Answer 6

No but to change it you have to go to your desktod press the right key and go to properties then go to desktop at the top of the properties screen
