AutoWallpaper

AutoWallpaper is a small software application developed specifically for helping you change the desktop wallpaper periodically. It can be installed on all Windows versions out there. Microsoft .NET Framework is needed in order to run the tool without experiencing errors.

You can look for the utility in the system tray when it runs without disturbing your activity. When you open it for the first time, you are asked to set up a user-defined folder that contains multiple photos. The images are used for displaying wallpapers.

The program works with JPG, GIF, PNG, and BMP file format. As soon as you specify the preferred directory, your wallpaper is changed, and the app reveals a list with all pictures included in the selected folder. On the downside, you are not allowed to preview the images in the main window.

AutoWallpaper offers you the possibility to check out the total number of images included in the target directory, view a few details about each file (like filename and extension), and alter the current directory.

Other important configuration settings worth being mentioned enable you to automatically change the wallpaper daily, at Windows startup, or at a certain time interval (from 30 seconds up to 12 hours), display wallpapers in a random order, run the tool at Windows startup, as well as manually change the current wallpaper.

Tests have pointed out that AutoWallpaper accomplishes a task quickly and without errors. It is not a resource hog so you may keep it running in the background without having to worry that it burdens the overall performance of the computer.

To sum things up, AutoWallpaper comes packed with several handy features for helping you alter your desktop background automatically, and can be tweaked by less experienced users and professionals alike.
