Hey Guys,

I was wondering if there is anyway to set Vista up or download load any software that would allow me to set the desktop background to change automatically?


Can you let me know,

Thanks,

Wizkid

Hi,


Thanks for the reply.

This software is great, is there anyway that you can turn off the border settings to make the picture the full size of the screen?

Yes there is,

Open the settings menu and select "stretch pictures to FULL screen"

That should do it.

(you gotta run in 'folders' mode)
