desktop backgrounds

February 20, 2003 10:34 AM from

hello, does anyone know how you can togle directly through picture files as your background, without actually having to see any other programs open
(such as... I had tree.gif as my background, and I'd like to just touch an icon on my desktop to make my background picture toggle to the next picture in a list)

If you have XP you can create a shortcut on your desktop to your "MY pictures" folder (located in your MY documents section) and keep all of your picture files there for easy access.

Then, if you keep your folder view (see view on your upper folder taskbar) as "view thumbnails" then you can see all of your pic files and right click on any one of them to set as desktop background.

If you have win 9x you may be able to do something akin to that too...just can't remember now that I have only XP puters.

Sorry...I'm still waking up
