Win XP Desktop Wallpaper Changer

[Frank Bohan]

<quote> I love it when I find a cool picture or graphic to use as a
wallpaper image. The only problem I run into is that I usually find too many
pictures to use as wallpaper and can never make up my mind. So what I end up
doing is changing my wallpaper constantly- I'd say I change my wallpaper on
the average of once every day or two. There's still one issue I had to deal
with and that was that I could really never decide on what wallpaper is my
favorite and I end up flipping back and forth a lot.

Then I found a solution to my dilemma-the Windows XP Desktop Wallpaper
Changer. This neat little "power toy" is a free download from Microsoft. It
allows you to point to a folder full of your pictures for use as wallpaper.
This means that instead of having a stagnate picture as your background
Windows displays all the pictures in whatever folder you designated in a
kind of really slow slide show..... </quote>

Those on Win9x/ME should use the ESCO Wallpaper Changer. Does all of
the above.

Can anybody tell me, why Microsoft needs to validate my XP (an OEM
version bought with the machine) when I want to download this file
directly from Microsoft USA, and it won't allow me to get it otherwise
(especially as my Opera browser won't run ActiveX components, and I
like it that way);

see

but when I fetch it from the Microsoft Windows for Taiwan page, no
one's gonna ask anything about my system, and I can get it without any
hassles?

if anybody needs to know.

Kind of double standard, eh?
