I would like to know if anyone knows of a free utility to change the wallpaper at specified intervals with an option of an animation to switch between the pictures (I was hoping crossfading if possible). I've been looking all morning, and I can't find such a utility. I'd like this because I've seen Linux do it, and it looks nice and I was hoping I could have it for my laptop or desktop.

Thanks for reading

I don't think there is something that will do that.

However, since XP's desktop uses Active Desktop, you should be able to create a web page with a small javascript that would do everything, including transitions.

But I am not able to code that.

Thanks for the reply. I'll look more into that when I have a bit of spare time. I don't have enough right now to figure it out lol

This method of .hta does not work at T39 (so by DetachedProgram) as mshta.exe has not any entry in registry. Slideshow you can run only much later or you should somehow organize registry
