Hi everyone,

I am looking for a Wallpaper Changer for windows ME to display my JPG
camera files but I do not want them stretched etc. I would like them
displayed as taken with part blank screen if necessary.

I have tried several but they either stretch, tile or do not accept JPG.

Any suggestions would be appreciated

Dave

I use "Kana wallchanger". I looked though a lot of them, some would only
do bit map. Some dated back to when windows 95 was released. some said
they'd work but require way too much regestry entries to be normal.
This kana one seems good though. You can change how often it changes
the pictures, which files and/or folders it uses. And it display bmp and
jpeg files, (maybe more).
Good luck with it. I'd change the icon though the one that come with it
was just not my taste.

I'm using winwall 2.1

It is downloadable from http://www.net-session.com/index.php?page=winwall
Absolute freeware (No naggings, no spyware (at least not detectable with
adaware):

Features:
Change intervals
Rotate once every x minutes
Rotate at startup
Rotate at random
Change at click (or dubble klik) on traybar icon
Hotkeys
Rotate to random or sequential picture
Save wallpaper list *****
Picture list
Multiple pictures from multiple folders.
Stretching and fitting
Like Window Display wallpaper settings +
autotile when smaller then xx% of screen
Alignment (If not exatly fittne screen size)
Effects
Bckground Color
Wallpaper caption (A quote | Date | Title)
Realtime visual Effects (Grayscale | Blur | Spray | Random effect |
ect...)

***** This is the only negative point of the program: you can oly save a
wallpaper list by closing the program it willask you where to save the
wallpaper list for future use. It will however remember where the list is
and use it the next time. If you don't save the list. the next time you
start the program, the wallpaper list will be empty. The wallpaper list is
NOT automatically saved or prompted for if your system is rebooting. (This
particulary makes it the negative point)


Ther are only 2 minor points pure freeware critics could whine about:
1) The software has a little paypal button witch you could click to make a
donation (though it is optional) But it does not slowdown or otherwise
obstruct the functionality of the program (Having a thick scull like mine
helps to ignore a paypal button).
2) The tray bar menu has an option to download free wallpapers, but that is
(as far as i know limited to 3 wallpapers a day). Since you want to use it
for your own pictures, I don't think you will mind...

It sounds like Phyle's Wallpaper Switcher would be perfect for you.

This free utility for Windows 95/98/2000 or NT4 (& probably XP) will
change the wallpaper picture on your desktop every time you start
your computer and/or whenever you want while the computer is running
(every 30 minutes for example). It is very uncomplicated - to add
new wallpapers (and you can have up to 32,000!!) you just place the
pictures in the folder Phyle's uses. Removing wallpapers is just as
simple. You can also change the folder Phyle's uses to select
wallpapers from anytime you want to. No actions such as resetting
the database or running a special program are required. It also uses
very few system resources. Wallpapers are not stretched or reduced
to fit the desktop.

I use Phyle's Wallpaper Switcher in conjunction with Snadboy's
Topdesk (also free from the same site) which clears your desktop
icons and places them in a popup menu from your system tray, so you
can have an uninterrupted view of your wallpapers.

You can download & view more info about Phyle's such as setup
