A year or two ago I had my computer configured where the background picture would change every few hours. I remember that I would configure windows to use a certain folder full of pictures and then every few hours it would display another picture from the folder as my desktop background.

For the life of me, I cannot figure out how I was doing this. Does anyone know how to do this?

Thanks in advance.
 
You right-clicked a blank area of the desktop, Properties, Screensaver, and selected "My Pictures Slideshow" as the screensaver. You then clicked 'Settings' and set the time interval and folder location for the pictures to use.
 
Thanks for the reply.

That is for the screen saver. I want the desktop background image to display random pictures from a certain folder.

Any other ideas?
 
That was exactly what I was looking for.

Thanks
