Hey guys. I LOVE THE FORUM! I couldn't find anywhere else to put this, so I decided to post it here. This AutoIt script will grab a random .bmp from a given directory and set it as the desktop. Change $favDir to your own directory from which to grab. Irfanview can be used to convert .jpgs to .bmps. Windows actually only can load .bmps to the desktop and usually does the conversion on-the-fly when you set a .jpg to the desktop. Hope it's appreciated Personally, I have a startup item linking to the script so it changes when Windows starts. PLEASE NOTE: I have used stolen code in this script. I don't know where it came from. Some of it is my work, some of it is not.
