I want to know is there any free software that will run in my systray and change my desktop wallpaper after a fixed time( say every 15 min or one hour). Currently I am using webshots software for this purpose, it does the job like this but I can,t use my personal collection of wallpapers in it.
Will be thankful for any help.
Thanks.

After Installing, just drag your personal collection into the "C:\Windows\Web\Wallpaper" folder.

Ya, u are right. I just found the option. The only problem is that it does not stretch the wallpapers for widescreen notebook.
