I currently have a custom wallpaper, it’s a image I created myself. I went to google maps and found my house on there, than I took screen captures, I kept moving around on the map and took enough captures to make a 800X600 image. I combined the screen captures to make one giant google satelite image of my neighborhood. I live right by Elm Street so I put a Elm Street sign on the bottom and also Freddy Kruger for good measure.

I really like this backround, and want to still have it, I found some other cool backrounds I want to use, and I’d like to rotate them, so one day it’s my cool home image, and the next it’s another cool image I have.

Is there a way to do this automatically without having to manually switch it everyday?

I’m using Windows XP, the most popular operating system.

There are a number of programs that will do this in a variety of ways. Some are free and others cost.
Google "windows wallpaper changer free" (no quotes). This will get the free ones as well as the paid ones since most offer a free trial. Be careful with the free ones that seem to be to good to be true since many harbor spyware.

Try the freeware WinWall. It can do what you want. Try, for example http://www.desktopchanger.com/index.php?page=winwall

Have you tried Google Earth?

http://earth.google.com/

It’s free and could save you a lot of cutting and pasting.

Ok, if you give me a spare computer I’ll put that operating system on it. Sound fair?

If I don’t care about popularity. then why should I seek to please you? Or did you have something else in mind?

I think Windows 98 is the most popular operating system. I’m using Ubuntu
5.04, which is very popular with me.
