Is there a way in XP SP2 to have the desktop change once a week ?

Thanks,
Pete

Close but it doesn't allow you to stretch the image to fit the entire
screen.

Do any of them? This one is free and does everything else.

I found what I was looking for. A program that can change the desktop
from the command prompt so now I can add it to scheduled tasked and it
doesn't require it to run in the background taking up memory. I did
have to resize my photos to 1280x1024 but besides that it works
great. Oh and it only works on bmp so had to convert my images.

i.e. deskcmd image.bmp

How exactly is this superior to the MS one? I only see way more PITA factors
here.
